My name is Rachel!

I’ve been working in the mental health field for over eight years, supporting individuals across the lifespan—including teens, adults, and older adults—in a variety of settings such as shelters, community health centres, and local hospitals. My experience has allowed me to connect with people from many walks of life, each with their own unique stories, challenges, and strengths.

Coming from an Filipino household where mental health was rarely acknowledged and often stigmatized, I grew up feeling different—more emotionally expressive, sensitive, and attuned to others than those around me. At times, I felt like an outsider for these qualities. Over time, I’ve come to see these parts of myself not as weaknesses, but as some of my greatest strengths. They now guide and inform the work I do with compassion and insight.

I deeply believe that growth and healing are always possible—sometimes in the most unexpected places and moments. If you choose to work with me, I would be honoured to walk alongside you as you explore your own path, reconnect with your true self, and create meaningful change in your life.
