Background Summary
Raelene enjoys everything outdoors where she can feel the tranquility and comfort of nature, a good science fiction novel that transports the mind and world music which she considers food for the soul.
Trust and connection are at the heart of every therapeutic journey. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected — from yourself, your relationships, or your sense of direction. Perhaps you’ve been carrying a lot for a long time, and you’re ready for a space where you don’t have to hold it all alone.
With over 20 years of experience, I am a Registered Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Facilitator supporting adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in building genuine connections. I believe that meaningful change begins when you feel seen, heard, and respected, not just for what you’re going through, but for who you are and where you come from.
Together, we explore the patterns, experiences, and systems that have shaped your life, including family and inter-generational dynamics, cultural identity, and broader social influences. I work from an integrative, trauma-aware lens, drawing on cognitive, behavioural, emotion-focused, narrative, and experiential approaches. Our work is guided by your strengths, your values, and what feels most important for your growth.
My practice is grounded in a person centered, anti-oppression framework and strengthened through experiences in the health care, leadership development and social service sectors. I hold space for the impacts of racism, discrimination, migration, and systemic stress, recognizing how these experiences shape mental health and overall well-being.
Growing up in the Caribbean and building a life and career in Canada, I remain a proud alumna of York U (B.Ed. Hons) and U of T (M.Ed.). My journey brings a deep respect for the complexity of identity, belonging, and inner strength and is informed by lived experience and professional
training.
I am committed to meeting you with cultural awareness, humility, and care. Whether you are seeking support for healing, clarity, or personal growth, therapy can be a space to reconnect with yourself and move forward in a way that feels more aligned and sustainable.
"You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin, we can start from exactly where you are."
writer and activist Audre Lorde
