As a trauma educator, coach and energetic healer, I bring something a bit different to the table as a practice. I see myself more as a metaphorical bridge between counselors and the standard solution-focused coaching and healing industries. Understanding complex trauma on an intimate level from childhood, I am a fierce advocate for trauma awareness in all modalities, promoting radical changes to how we individually heal from emotional injury. One size does not fit all, and trauma-informed safety deserves to be felt far and wide, bringing personal power back to the forefront of healing.

My name is Michelle and I am incredibly proud of you for taking your first step in finding the support you deserve. I am a registered social worker (BA., MSW., RSW) and counsellor who recognizes that many of us have endured immense harm, neglect, discrimination, betrayal, and humiliation, without a safe place to express and process this suffering.

Areas of Expertise I am passionate about supporting individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, perfectionism, and relationship anxiety/relationship-OCD. I also specialize in supporting those who have experienced trauma, especially related to sexual abuse or religious/spiritual abuse. I offer both in-person and virtual sessions for children (12+), youth, and adults. Together, we can uncover what holds you back from living the life you want and develop strategies to achieve your goals.

Methods of Therapy I work from a person-centered, trauma-informed approach that prioritizes your unique strengths and goals as well as skills that help regulate the nervous system and ground you in the present moment. I also have training in emotion-focused individual therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy as well as integrate interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy and internal family systems.
