My approach to therapy is client-centred, collaborative, and integrative.
I have over 10 years of mental health experience and have successfully treated adults with a broad range of mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep problems, and interpersonal difficulties. In addition to general mental health expertise, I also specialize in health psychology. This means that I work with individuals to address the mental health concerns that often come with chronic disease (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular complications, chronic pain).

Taking a holistic integrative approach to sessions, Michele creates a unique and personally tailored plan for your goals.
Michele specializes in clients who have experienced a life change that has left them feeling lost or unhappy. Traumas and survival patterns that we have buried deep in our subconscious can surface when challenged with life changes causing us to struggle with our new normal. This inner turmoil can throw our natural rhythm of living off disturbing our current adaptive patterns resulting in conditions such as anxiety and depression, questioning of our values and choices, it may challenge our self-esteem, lessen our enjoyment of relationships as well as trigger somatic disorders such as IBS, inflammation and chronic pain.

I believe it's my role to be supportive and help you identify and work towards the future you desire and choose.

Critical relationships from the past and present shape our thoughts about (a) ourselves, (b) others and (c) our expectations for relationships. Thoughts and expectations shaped by our experience, in turn, shape our perceptions and influence the choices we make and the things we do--often in limiting and self-defeating ways. When our need for safe, meaningful and satisfying connection is complicated by difficulty of some sort, we frequently develop troubling symptoms.

I see adult and adolescent clients from all sorts of different backgrounds, and who present with a variety of psychological concerns. However, I feel I’m especially well-suited to working with folks who are undergoing significant life change (e.g., job insecurity, divorce, bereavement, diagnosis, etc.), and who are experiencing anger, anxiety, or depression while traversing the flux. I’m also a keen advocate of mental wellbeing within a number of specific communities, including: veterans and first responders, men (cis and trans), LGBTQ+ folks, expatriates/immigrants, entrepreneurs, and people practicing consensual non-monogamy.

I obtained a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, with a specialization in Law and Forensic Psychology, and have extensive experience and specialized training in the area of assessment, both in clinical and forensic settings. Many of the individuals I work with have never had contact with a mental health professional or found that the previous treatment they engaged in was unhelpful. Many also say they are aware something is "off" but not sure what to do. I enjoy working with clients to clarify the symptoms and concerns they are experiencing through a comprehensive psychological assessment to enhance their well-being.

Accepting new clients for late May/early June 2024. Safety, predictability, trust, worth, and belonging – these are the dimensions of human experience that allow all of us to navigate the ups and downs that come with modern life. But when traumatic experiences disrupt and destabilize our lives, we are often left feeling powerless, fearful, betrayed, silenced, and disconnected. If you have survived a traumatic experience, well-meaning loved ones might tell you to “move on”, “put it behind you”, and “let it go”, but no matter how hard you try, you just don’t feel safe, and the world doesn’t feel like a place you can trust anymore.

Hi there. I help people who struggle with feeling disconnected from others or themselves, and with folk who believe they "aren't enough" despite continuously working to help themselves and others. More than ever, we are feeling anxious, burnt out, and overwhelmed about how we can fully engage in our lives, careers, and relationships. Pushing away our needs or struggling to find the first step can lead to emotional, mental and physical exhaustion. I believe that life doesn't have to be so hard.

What is integrative therapy?
Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.
How does integrative therapy work?
Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behaviour patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.
How long does integrative therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
How effective is integrative therapy?
There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
