About Me

Hi, I’m Rachel.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, and I currently practice under clinical supervision as part of my ongoing professional development.

I meet clients with curiosity, compassion, and respect. I believe therapy should feel deeply human, and in a way, like you’re meeting yourself. The healing process happens in an environment where you feel safe enough to be seen honestly.

In our work together, I offer a calm and validating space where you can express emotions freely, reflect on experiences, and explore what feels hard or confusing. Clients often describe me as calm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to.

How I Work

My approach is relational and collaborative. I offer a space that is:

  • calm and steady

  • emotionally attuned

  • validating and non-judgmental

  • curious rather than prescriptive

I integrate evidence-based frameworks including:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

  • Mindful awareness and grounding

  • Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)

Who I Support

I often work with teens (13+) and adults who experience:

  • anxiety and worry

  • self-criticism or low self-worth

  • emotional sensitivity

  • identity confusion or transition

  • relationship challenges

  • difficulty expressing needs

  • pressure to be “the responsible one”

  • feeling overwhelmed internally

Professional Background

I am currently completing my clinical training and registration hours toward becoming a fully qualified Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario. My clinical work is supported by supervision to ensure ethical, compassionate, and effective care.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a case manager and overnight supervisor in homeless shelters, supporting both families and adults. This experience shaped my capacity for deep compassion, trauma-informed understanding, and respect for the inherent dignity of every person. It continues to inform how I show up as a therapist.

If you are considering therapy, I would be honoured to connect with you. You don’t need to know exactly what you want to say or where to begin. Just come as you are.
