Hello!

I’m so glad you’re here! Let me introduce myself. I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC # 22544) specializing in supporting adults (19+) with issues related to trauma (past and present), ADHD, life transitions, anxiety, stress, burn-out, relationships, identity, self-esteem, disordered eating, grief, narcissistic abuse, and the legacy of emotionally immature parents. As well as office-based and online appointments, I offer Nature-Based Therapy outdoors, where we tap into the ways nature supports our mental and emotional well being. I work with both individuals and people in relationships. Click here to read more about me.

Testimonials

  • “Rachel has been extraordinary. She is devoted to evidence based practice and this shines through how she approaches counselling. She has an in-depth understanding of trauma. She is clear, honest, and insightful. She is also organized and is able to remember details of previous conversations well.”

    Relationship Counselling

  • “Working with Rachel has been a truly transformative experience. From the very first session, she created a safe, supportive space where I felt heard, understood, and genuinely cared for.”

    Individual Counselling

  • “I’m continuing to find clarity, self-compassion, and a growing sense of hope for the possibilities ahead. I’m deeply grateful for the timing that brought us together and for the genuine care she brings into every session.”

    Individual Counselling

  • “Rachel has a remarkable ability to balance compassion with practical guidance, helping me navigate some of the most challenging periods of my life with clarity and resilience. Her insight, patience, and thoughtful approach have made a lasting impact on my personal growth and mental well-being.”

    Individual Counselling

  • “We have been seeing Rachel for couple’s counselling and we would highly recommend her. I work in mental health and my partner is neurodivergent, this has meant that we have a hard time finding a counsellor that is skilled enough to meet both of our needs well.”

    Relationship Counselling

  • “Working with Rachel has helped me see things in a much healthier and more aware way.  This has made life feel lighter and more manageable. She brings compassion, insight and… has given me practical tools that have helped me begin to get unstuck and change how I see and speak to myself for the better.”

    Individual Counselling

  • “I am incredibly grateful for the support and tools Rachel has provided me, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Rachel to anyone seeking meaningful and lasting change.”

    Individual Counselling

  • "Rachel has helped us move beyond looking at our surface challenges to finding the source of our difficulties. We are seeing steady progressive rebuilding of trust and are finding new ways to interact. It’s not going to be a quick fix or a few magical exercises, but that isn’t how repairing long term relationship difficulties truly works. Bonus points - we have felt this has been a good fit for our queer identities as well." 

    Relationship Counselling

All are welcome here.

I provide trauma informed, neurodiversity affirming, LGBTQIA2S+ friendly, culturally aware individualized care. In-person appointments will take place in a private wheelchair accessible office environment. I work from an anti-oppressive stance, applying a systems lens to therapy.
