While psychological therapy can address some deep and painful issues, it doesn't need to be all about pain and suffering. In fact, it is often more about understanding yourself and others differently. It is about learning how to cope with challenging situations such as relationship dissatisfaction, uncertainty over the future, transitioning from one situation to another, handling strong emotions like fear, loss, or anger, and healing pains from the past. These universal experiences can be overwhelming. I can help you navigate them more smoothly and set yourself up for success on the other side of it.

There are likely times when you feel that you are running on empty and can’t catch your breath. When you feel like you’ve lost yourself and life is falling apart. Feeling stress, worry, disconnected and alone can all start to negatively impact our lives. You don't have to carry these feelings alone. My goal is to help you navigate these experiences and offer a space for new ideas. I want to help you begin to feel more like yourself, worry less and find balance in your life.

Problems and difficulties rarely occur in isolation. As a therapist with 20 years of experience, Michelle looks at each individual and how they function in their environment, including their relationships with individuals and the community. Michelle works with each client to identify the challenging aspects of their lives and provides input and support to make the desired changes. Michelle works with clients to establish coping skills, build resiliency and increase their sense of wellness.

Its not easy to navigate the chaos of life's challenges and find joy. When clients are facing the hardest times of their life, they can feel isolated, alone, and stuck. I partner with clients with a warm, collaborative person-centered and solutions-oriented approach. I hold the space for them to discover a path forward and experience real growth. I have 9 years of life-coaching experience combined with a Master's Degree in Counselling Psychology. I have a particular interest in helping support caregivers, who have family members with Alzheimers Disease, any type of cancer or rare disease, and mental health disorders. ⁠⁣

I believe it takes courage to take this first step in reaching out for help. Life is full of challenges and roadblocks that can often be difficult to move past or face alone. In therapy we will work on things that are of concern to you and at a pace that feels right for you. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, stress, grief, or relationship issues. My niche is in working with women struggling with infertility, pregnancy loss or postpartum challenges.

At times, many of us contend with emotions and suffering that are overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and difficult to bear, often as a result of unique stressors and events. I work with adults, adolescents, families and step-families using Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy, and DBT/CBT within neuroscience and attachment frameworks. I encouraged clients to access inner strengths and free their capacity for growth. Whether you or a family member experience depression, anxiety, marital distress or difficulties with peers, you deserve support in a confidential, accepting, safe and caring environment.

I love meeting with people who are hoping to make true, meaningful change in their lives. It take a lot of work to change but it can absolutely be done.
