Meet Rachelle, RP, CCC

Who I work with:

.You might be here because you’ve noticed that relational patterns keep repeating — even when you know where they are coming from.

.

I work with adults who experience:

-Complex or relational trauma

-Anxiety, emotional reactivity, or overwhelm

-Chronic shame, self-doubt, or low self-worth

-Difficulty feeling safe, connected, or at ease with others

-Challenges with emotional or nervous system regulation

-Attachment-based patterns that feel imbalanced or exhausting

.

Many clients are outwardly high-functioning, yet internally struggling. Therapy becomes a place to slow down, develop agency, and build a more secure relationship with yourself and others.

.

This work is for adults (18+) who want meaningful, lasting change — not quick fixes.

.
My Approach to Therapy

..

Deep relational wounds — especially those shaped by early attachment experiences — are not healed through willpower, meditation, or intellectual insight alone. While these approaches can support awareness, lasting change most often occurs through attuned relationship, presence, and bottom up-informed therapy.

.

Relational trauma is held in the body and shaped through connection. In our work together, we pay close attention to what is happening in the present moment — emotionally, relationally, and somatically — allowing new experiences of safety, agency, and connection to emerge naturally rather than being forced.

.

I believe people have an innate capacity to heal and grow. Therapy is not about fixing you — it’s about creating the conditions in which your system can feel safe enough to change.

.

About Rachelle

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with training in the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), approaches developed specifically to address complex and developmental trauma rooted in early life experiences.

.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked as a yoga teacher and clinician in holistic health. Over time, I came to understand that while mindfulness and body-based practices can be supportive, relational trauma often does not resolve through these practices alone.

.

It heals through attunement, safety, and embodied capacity — within relationship.
That understanding informs everything I do.

What You Can Expect in Sessions

.

Our work is experiential and collaborative, integrating both body and mind. Depending on your needs, I may draw from:

-NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) — for resolving complex and attachment-based trauma by working with patterns in the present moment'

-Internal Family Systems (IFS) — to understand and compassionately work with inner parts and protective strategies

-Brainspotting & Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) — somatic approaches for trauma held in the nervous system

-Polyvagal-informed therapy — to support nervous system regulation and grounded presence

.

Therapy here is not about pushing you to be different. It’s about helping your system feel safe enough to change from the inside out.

A Safe, Non-Judgmental Space

.

I aim to create a calm, respectful, and empowering environment where you can explore long-standing patterns, develop greater self-trust, and gradually replace survival strategies with grounded presence and agency.
