- create and maintain a more nourishing and nurturing relationship with themselves and others
- understand their actions and reactions to situations
- heal from the hurts of the past
- tend to their life story and move towards that which they would like to create.
COUPLE THERAPY
I work with people to express themselves more openly, to learn to communicate, to tap into the underlying issues that are beyond the everyday issues and to uncover the love story. I assist people to make conscious agreements, to learn to understand each other more deeply, to hear each other and to listen to each other. Taking the blame out of the communication, which is often hard to do in the thick of things, when both people are upset.
I also assist with separation.

CLIENT REVIEWS
- “My husband and I are incredibly grateful for Rochelle and the way she guided us through issues we weren’t able to get through on our own. In every session, her priority was to always make each of us feel valid and safe in our emotions and struggles. The insights she gave us and the perspectives she shared helped us individually as well as a couple. Rochelle truly transformed us as a couple from being on the brink and questioning our future to us feeling as though we can tackle each problem side by side. We are very grateful to have Rochelle in our toolbox of marriage.”

— Vanessa
- “I have been a client of Rochelle’s for a few years now and have had profound experiences in her psychodrama sessions resulting in positive changes within my life. I feel completely safe in her facilitation process which has allowed me to have full expression and go deeper with myself and my emotions in a really varied way that was new for me and has been quite a reflective journey. The way Rochelle guides you along the way to help unfold the deep layers of self and get to the core is truly amazing. I was blown away by her and the entire process and the resonance it has created in my life and the ripple effect it has had to others within my family. Thanks Rochelle ”
