Hello, my name is Michelle, and I am passionate about supporting you in your personal growth and transformation. Together, we will work collaboratively to strengthen relational bonds, improve communication skills, and shift unhealthy family or relationship dynamics. I aim to help you explore new perspectives, create meaningful change, and find purpose in your life. If desired, we can also incorporate spirituality into our work.
I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, including CBT, attachment-based therapy, DBT, EFT, and more. I am also an EMDR therapist in-training. As a pre-marital/marital counselling facilitator, I help couples towards a healthier partnership. I am also an Expressive Arts Practitioner, which allows me to integrate creative modalities in our sessions.
Through empathic listening, openness, compassion, and a non-judgmental helping style, I will help you explore various strategies and coping tools to address the struggles you face. I would also like to enhance your sense of self in a safe and caring space.

I often use an attachment based lens with CBT and DBT interwoven in the process. EMDR therapy enhances the therapeutic goals of trauma work, which may help reconsolidate unresolved experiences.
