A warm welcome. I work with young adults +18, adults and couples in all stages of life and from all identities with an integrated approach for issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, relationship and attachment issues.

NOW Accepting NEW Clients - NO Wait List! Healing Path Therapy is a growing team of collaborative mental health practitioners who are dedicated to providing accessible quality psychotherapy and counselling services to individuals, couples, and families. We are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and affirming environment for our staff, associates, and our clients. Whether you're looking for help with recovering and finding relief from past events, trauma, anxiety, stress, burnout, eating disorders, depression, parenting, or life transitions, our compassionate therapists are here to assist you on your path to healing.

My primary concern is to provide my clients with a space that is safe, welcoming, and open. Establishing a relationship of trust and collaboration is the basis of my therapeutic approach. Each of us experiences the world differently, and we each have our own unique story to share; I believe that my clients are their own best experts, and that everyone has the ability to create lasting change. I strive to be aware of the effects of power and privilege that may impact a client's experience; I am passionate about helping my clients discover strengths and resilience within themselves.

The way we experience the world around us and our inner world profoundly influences our overall psychological health and well-being. The goal of therapy is to develop a healthy sense of self, that is, the development of a human being who knows what they believe, what they feel, what they want, and can hold that understanding in the face of social pressure and social expectation. All sessions are virtual. Please visit our website for more information, to book an initial session, or book a 15minute consultation.

While life is full of challenges, seeking support can help us make sense of what is going on around and within us. It takes bravery to recognize when that support is needed. I am passionate about coming alongside couples and individuals experiencing relational distress and are seeking to create stronger bonds with self and others. When we experience disconnection from ourselves or those we love, our whole world can feel like it is falling apart. By working together, we will create new patterns of connecting to change the current patterns that are keeping you disconnected.

I’m so glad you’re here! Starting therapy is a big deal, and finding the right therapist is key. My name is Michelle, and I am passionate about working with adults of all ages who are navigating difficult life transitions, academic pressures, workplace stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. My clients are curious about exploring their own strengths and feel motivated to build new strategies to improve their situations and overall mindsets. I also have significant experience supporting caregivers with aging parents who have complex physical and mental health issues.

We all need support in navigating life’s hardships, which can leave us feeling stuck, alone and overwhelmed. I strive to create a safe, caring, collaborative and supportive environment for you to explore life’s hardships, while also encouraging you to recognize your strengths. It is important for me to create connection, understanding, compassion, empathy and self-growth in your therapeutic experience. My goal is to support you in developing tools and coping strategies, while also digging deeper to create understanding of the underlying origin of patterns and themes within your life that are no longer serving you.
