Great to meet you!

Hello, I’m Michelle, a licensed therapist trained in EMDR and experienced in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy for trauma. I have clinical experience in palliative care and over 10 years working with alcohol and substance use concerns. My experience also includes working with anxiety, ADHD, and depression. I specialize in trauma, grief, and identity work, offering evidence-based approaches including EMDR, IFS, meaning-centered therapy, and logotherapy to help clients process loss, find meaning, and foster healing. My approach is empathic, collaborative, and insight-oriented, providing a safe space to explore challenges, build resilience, and cultivate self-acceptance.

My approach to therapy

I bring an empathic and collaborative style to therapy, providing a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. I work with clients by tailoring evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), meaning-centered therapy, and logotherapy to their unique needs. Together, we explore trauma, grief, identity, anxiety, ADHD, depression, and substance use concerns, helping clients process experiences, gain insight, and build resilience.

What you can expect from me

Clients typically take away greater self-awareness, insight into their patterns and parts of themselves, and practical tools to build resilience, self-acceptance, and meaning in their lives.
