Michelle is a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Canadian Counsellor. She holds a Masters of Arts Degree in Psychotherapy and Spiritual Care. Michelle has a history of working with diverse populations of clients including children, adolescents, families, and women who have experienced abuse and violence. She has completed numerous post-graduate trainings in trauma therapy, family & couples therapy, attachment and family of origin work, children’s therapy, and Perinatal (Fertility, Birth and Postpartum) Mental Health.
Michelle is passionate about assisting caregivers in growing their capacity to be authentic in care for themselves. She recognizes that struggles in the Perinatal period (and in parenting at any time) are not limited to those who identify as mothers, and that not all new parents are coupled, married, cisgendered, or heterosexual. She also recognizes and honours that not all birthing parents identify as mothers.
She strives to support caregivers however they show up, to care for their whole selves with love and tenderness through the difficult, beautiful, messy and even sometimes disappointing world of parenting. Her therapeutic work with caregivers focuses on helping them to build compassionate relationships not only with their children, but also with themselves. Her approach to clients is Relational, Family Centred, Feminist, and Narrative informed. She employs an integrative approach to her therapeutic work in order to best fit the presenting needs of the client. Her graduate training in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy also allows her to offer care in a unique and holistic manner that acknowledges the full person in their healing and growth.
** As Michelle's schedule is limited, you are encouraged to book 2-3 sessions ahead to reserve space for yourself ongoing**
