Hi! I am Rina!

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and the owner/operator at Tranquillium Holistic Therapy & Wellness!

 If you are on this page, it means you are considering therapy, and I want to take a moment to honor the courage it takes to seek help. Starting therapy can be incredibly intimidating, which is why I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can talk about anything on your mind with ease.

Navigating the joys, sorrows, and complexities of life is an intrinsic part of the human experience. Having journeyed through my own life transitions, I understand how overwhelming it can feel when facing these challenges alone. My own struggles inspired me to become the person who could offer the support I once needed. With empathy, compassion, and unconditional positive regard, I am here to explore these dark spaces together with curiosity, warmth, and acceptance.
