Registered Counsellor and Certified Life Skills Coach based in Vancouver, with a background in providing 1:1 support to individuals facing systemic marginalization in rebuilding their lives.
Rachel has navigated significant life adversities and channels her understanding of trauma to create a warm, approachable, and welcoming therapeutic space. People tend to seek her support for a safe harbour to come as they are, explore vulnerable topics, and develop a clearer perspective on complex circumstances.
Her approach is defined by compassion, attunement, honesty, and non-judgmental support. She applies a holistic, strengths-based lens that considers the intricate relationship of mental, physical, spiritual, social, and emotional well-being. Clients are guided to deepen their understanding of themselves and the nature of their challenges, and learn how to move through obstacles in a manner that feels authentic and empowering to them.
Rachel prioritizes establishing a genuine connection with you as a fellow human being above all else. Counselling does not have to be intimidating. Let’s define what is helpful to you and find light-hearted moments along the way.

What type of counselling do you offer?
I provide virtual individual counselling sessions on a secure video platform. Clients have the option of booking 60-minute or 90-minute sessions.
What is the process like to begin therapy?
You can reach out to set up a 15-20 minute consultation where we learn about your support needs and address any questions you may have regarding counselling to see if we are the right fit in working together.
Our first session together will be an 'intake' session to gather background information and discuss your desired outcomes for counselling.
Moving forward, we will meet for regular ongoing sessions, addressing your needs and discussing new experiences that arise during our time together. As we progress, we will tackle emerging topics and periodically revisit your progress.
