Psychotherapist

Welcome. I’m Michelle, and I’m so glad you’re here.
I believe therapy is about creating a space where we can show up fully—where our stories, in all their nuance and complexity, are held with care and curiosity. It’s not about fixing or forcing change; it’s about reconnecting with ourselves, untangling what feels heavy, and gently exploring what’s possible together.
While I cannot welcome any new in-person clients at this time, I do have a limited number of spots available for those seeking virtual sessions. In our time together, we’ll draw from approaches like EMDR, Internal Family Systems, narrative therapy, and mindfulness, all through the lens of a polyvagal-informed practice. It’s an integrative and person-centred process, designed to honour your unique rhythm and needs.
Beyond my work as a therapist, I’m deep in the everyday magic—and chaos—of life with two little ones. Our days often look like muddy boots, spontaneous laughter, and snack negotiations, usually outdoors. Living in a place where windy afternoons are more like wind tunnels, we’ve learned that chasing sunlight often means also chasing our hats! Still, those wild, windswept moments ground me and remind me of the beauty in life’s unpredictability. And when we’re not braving the elements, you’ll find me in the kitchen experimenting with flavours (some wins, some questionable) or flowing through yoga, finding stillness in the beautiful stretch of the everyday.
It’s an honour to hold space for others on their journey, and I’d be humbled to walk alongside you on yours.
A Trauma-Informed Approach
I invite you to explore EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy with me—a powerful tool for healing that works with your body and brain’s natural capacity to process and integrate trauma.
Rooted in a deep understanding of how our nervous systems hold onto past experiences, EMDR helps unlock stuck patterns and opens up space for true transformation. I’ve seen firsthand how this approach can gently guide you toward deeper healing, offering support as you reconnect with your resilience and move forward in your personal growth.
