My name is Michelle and I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 24651). I graduated with a Masters of Counselling Psychology with Distinction from Yorkville University in August for 2024. Since then I have continued to further my education and experience, with a focus on neurodiversity, suicide crisis intervention, Narrative Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Prior to my counselling career, I worked and volunteered in various mental health settings, crisis intervention and crisis management, community living, the autism network, the non-profit sector, and in the public K-12 school system.

My approach to counselling first and foremost comes from Trauma-Informed Person Centred Therapy, where the client’s experience, comfort, and autonomy are prioritized above all else. I have ample education, training, and experience working with ASD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger in children, youth, adults, and seniors.

I offer 50-minute online individual counselling sessions through Lougheed Wellness Centre, as well as 50-minute or extended 90-minute online or in-person (Yaletown) counselling sessions through Therapy Matters. Each practice can be contacted directly through online booking or phone, or you can email me directly.
