Michelle is committed to client-care, providing evidence-based, trauma-informed, person-centred, and strength-based care, studying to master’s level in counselling and psychotherapy to help clients enact positive change.

Michelle is passionate about valuing each persons’ uniqueness and circumstances, collaborating with them to develop effective strategies and solutions to address their specific concerns intentionally. Michelle believes counselling is an opportunity to safely explore areas of concern, seek insight into specific challenges and their impacts, and where practical guidance and effective strategies for specific concerns are offered to create real, long-lasting change. Each session involves creating a space for awareness that change is possible, where new ways of being and doing can be found focusing on health and well-being.

Michelle engages with clients to effectively address various challenges and needs for therapy. Her integrative and contemporary skill set includes positive psychology, gestalt therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, experiential and creative therapies. Michelle believes counselling should be a rewarding experience where your needs and goals are honoured, and she looks forward to helping you achieve more peace, harmony, happiness, and profound change one step at a time.
