Rachelle's practical experience has progressed from employment in the hospital psychology setting, to community mental health programs working with eating disorder clients and their families, to providing private individual psychotherapy for children, adolescents and adults. She integrates components from a range of psychotherapy models.

Rachelle works with adults, adolescents and children who are seeking support in coping with life's challenges with particular interest in the areas of anxiety, depression and personal growth. Her approach to therapy is focused on providing a supportive, collaborative, and empowering environment for clients, allowing them to build upon their strengths and move towards achieving their personal and relationship goals.
