WHEN LOVE FEELS FRAGILE, HEALING IS POSSIBLE
When couples come to me in those most fragile moments, they carry a question heavy with fear and doubt: Will we make it through this, or is this the beginning of the end? Choosing to show up — despite the pain and uncertainty, is the first flicker of light in a dark place.
A sign that healing is not just a dream, but a possibility waiting to unfold.
It tells me there’s still something alive between you, something worth fighting for, something that can heal.
We’ll work together to build your relationship and foster a deeper emotional connection.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
I SEE YOU. I FEEL YOUR PAIN.
I know what it’s like to reach out and be met with cold resistance, followed by a painful retreat into silence. The space between you grows so wide it feels like an unbridgeable chasm. The hope of a relationship filled with mutual love and tenderness seems like a distant mirage — slipping further away with each passing day.
But here is the truth I want you to hold close — it is possible.
Even when your hearts feel broken and far apart, there is a way back — a way to rebuild trust, to rediscover love, and to feel close again.
It is an honor to help you through this
I’ve had the honor of walking this path with hundreds of couples who once stood exactly where you are — fragile, uncertain, scared. I deeply understand the ache of feeling lost and disconnected from the person you love most. You are not alone in this. I am here with you.
Together, we’ll work to reignite that quiet flame. I’ll be right there with you through the messy, painful, and beautiful process of understanding, forgiveness, and healing.
You’ll learn to listen not just with your ears, but with your whole heart — and to speak in a way that reaches deeply and transforms.
“It was as if she were working harder than we were, carrying us through the worst of it until we found our sea legs. She believed in our success when we weren’t sure what was going to happen. We experienced Rachelle’s passion. We are immensely grateful to her!”

A seasoned expert in relationships
For more than 20 years,
I’ve witnessed couples turn despair into hope, brokenness into new beginnings — hearts once shattered now beating in harmony. It is a remarkable gift to witness couples like you reconnect, rebuild trust, and rediscover the intimacy that makes love come alive again.
With deep commitment to your healing journey, I have advanced training in two of the most effective, research-backed approaches in relationship therapy — The Gold-Standard Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method.
Together, these evidence-based methods create a compassionate, safe space where your emotional pains are acknowledged, your hopes are nurtured, and the foundation for trust and love can grow again.
You deserve that hope. You deserve that love. And I’m here to help you find your way back.
