About Rachel

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to holding it all together for others. My goal is to make that step easier by creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported. I’m completing my Master of Social Work at the University of Toronto and am practicing as a student therapist under the supervision of Amanda Neves, RSW.

My background includes supporting people through relationship struggles, moments of self-doubt, and the stress that comes with navigating big life transitions. In our sessions, we’ll not only explore the “why” behind what feels hard, but also practice new ways of relating to yourself and others. This might mean learning how to quiet your inner critic, understanding your attachment patterns, or finding tools to bring more calm and balance into your day.

I especially welcome students, young professionals, and those from immigrant or international backgrounds who may be navigating questions of identity, belonging, or family expectations. Whether you’re managing anxiety, feeling burnt out, or noticing the same patterns repeating in your relationships, therapy with me offers a place to pause, reflect, and move toward change that feels lasting and meaningful.
