Welcome! My name is Michelle and I’m so happy you’re here. We all come from different places and have had different experiences in our lives, and I am happy to honour that and take that into account during our time in therapy. I believe our differences are what make us unique and special, and I’m happy to be able to collaborate with you with empathy, understanding, and without judgment. I am a certified Perinatal Mental Health practitioner. As a mom of two boys, and I understand the many challenges that individuals and families face with regards to conception, pregnancy, and the postpartum period. I’ve been there, and I’m here now! My passion for working with new parents is strong, and I would love to help guide you through the many ups and downs of this period in your life, and beyond. I also have training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and mindfulness. I have worked with a wide variety of issues, including, but not limited to: Anxiety, depression, major life transitions, and people pleasing. My approach to therapy is strengths-based, and my goal is to create an empowering and safe space for you. I aspire to help you find and capitalize on your strengths and will work to help you lead the life you want to lead.
