Offering Trauma Therapy, Mood Management and Co-Parenting Support to Teens & Adults.
Michelle is a Registered Social Worker and trauma specialist with more than 15 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families. She holds a Master of Social Work and advanced certifications in trauma therapy.
Michelle brings a friendly, down-to-earth, and practical approach to therapy. She believes therapy doesn't have to feel formal or intimidating. Her sessions are conversational and collaborative, and she sometimes adds a little humour. She creates a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported.
Michelle works with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, separation & co-parenting, overwhelming emotions, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She draws on evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy, tailoring sessions to each client's unique needs and goals.
Her approach goes beyond simply talking about problems. Michelle helps clients understand what's keeping them stuck, recognize unhelpful patterns, and develop practical strategies for everyday life. She's compassionate and supportive yet isn't afraid to offer a fresh perspective or challenge clients when needed.
Michelle's goal: to help clients feel more confident, capable, and better equipped to navigate life's challenges.
