Get to know me
Meet Michelle
You don’t have to wait until life falls apart to ask for help.
Maybe you have been telling yourself that other people have it worse, or that you should be able to handle this on your own. Maybe you have decided that what you are feeling isn’t “serious enough” for therapy. But if you have been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or just not like yourself lately, that deserves attention too.
I work with adolescents and adults on anxiety, stress, burnout, life transitions, self-esteem, grief and relationship challenges. Many of my clients are not looking for someone to tell them what to do. They want someone who will listen properly and help them make sense of what they are experiencing.
My approach is warm and down-to-earth, and the work is a collaboration. Therapy should feel like a conversation where you can show up exactly as you are, without pretending you are okay or that you have everything figured out. Together we will look at what has been keeping you stuck and build practical strategies out of the strengths you already have, so you feel steadier and more confident.
Sometimes that is a major life change. Sometimes it is a quieter sense that you have lost your footing. Either way, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and get your bearings back.
My approach
What we actually do depends on what you need. I draw from: Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Approaches and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
There is no single right way to heal. Together we will find an approach that fits your personality and what you want out of this.
My background
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I built my career in education, coaching, recruitment and hospitality. Every one of those roles came down to people. Living and working across Canada, Europe and Southeast Asia gave me a real appreciation for different cultures and for how differently people can see the same situation, and that still shapes how I meet clients: with curiosity, and with respect for the story in front of me.
I bring that same curiosity into the therapy room, so clients can be themselves here and still feel supported enough to grow.
A little about me
I love discovering new places and have travelled to more than 30 countries, usually getting to know a culture through its food. When I am not travelling, you will find me hiking, playing tennis, trying a new recipe, or outdoors somewhere. Growth tends to start when you are willing to step outside what is familiar, one small step at a time.
You don’t need to have all the answers before starting therapy, and you don’t need to wait until things fall apart. When you want somewhere you can feel heard and properly understood, I would love to meet you.
