Hi, I'm Rafaelle (she/they)

Where I start.

I'm a licensed therapist. Everything I've seen, in the therapy room and in the research, points the same way: people don't heal alone.

I work with people healing from trauma, living with neurodivergence, and moving through life transitions, relationship trouble, and the ordinary work of changing. My approach is person-centered and somatic. Whatever you're struggling with, I'm going to assume it made sense at some point, given what you've lived through and what you're living inside.

You don't have to arrive with it figured out. We start by building something you feel safe enough to be honest in, and go from there, at your pace.

How I work

Three commitments.

Relational at the core

The relationship is what everything else rests on, so we take time to build it.

Somatic and body-aware

I work with what your body is doing, not only with what you can say about it.

Systems-aware and affirming

A lot of what you're carrying started outside you, in your history and in the systems you've had to live inside. I won't treat it as a private failing.

Who I work with

The people I work best with.

The people I do my best work with believe change is possible and keep showing up for it, even on the hard days. They want to work inside a relationship, not have a solution handed to them. Some have spent years understanding themselves; others are here to make sense of something for the first time. What they have in common is that the pattern they came in with has been slow to shift, and they feel ready to try something new.
