Hello, My name is Rachelle (Ra-shell). Sometimes even when we’ve tried so hard to heal and grow, it can feel as though there is yet another layer to unravel, and other times we don’t know where to begin. That can be difficult to navigate alone.
Sometimes we simply cannot see clearly when we look from the inside out or from too close a distance. I aim to walk alongside you as a trusted supportive presence, to guide you to see from a broader vantage point, to support you in your self-exploration and as you take your new skills and insights into your world.
I work with teens, +16 and adults and couples in all stages of life and from all identities with an integrated approach to issues such as anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, relationship and communication and attachment issues. Some of the approaches I integrate are mindfulness and compassion-focused, experiential and narrative therapy, family systems and psychodynamic approaches. I will work collaboratively with you to find which approaches resonate with you throughout our time together.
I have an extensive background in mindfulness, meditation, contemplative and somatic practices that deepen and complement our therapy sessions by guiding you to embody the present with new skills and perspectives. I would be honoured to support you from wherever you are right now in your life’s path, and all that you bring with you is allowed in our space.
My supervisor is Jess Erb (CRPO #008555), whom I will be working closely with to provide the best care possible as we go through this journey together.
