About Michelle

Michelle (she/her) has had experience in several helping roles throughout her career including in mental health settings, crisis management, the autism network, the non-profit sector, and in the public K-12 school system. She has experience working with a wide range of client populations and concerns including seniors, adults, youth, and children, couples and families, various neurodiverse populations, LGBTQ+ individuals, anxiety, depression, general mental health, and stress management. Above all Michelle believes in a client-centered approach, achieved through prioritization of client autonomy, choice, and informed consent. Michelle prefers to take an integrated and eclectic approach to counselling, meaning she pulls from a variety of counselling modalities to best fit clients’ personal and unique wishes and goals. These modalities include but are not limited to person-centered theory, cognitive-behavioural theory, dialectical-behavioural therapy skills, narrative therapy, existential theory, solutions focused therapy, and the trauma-informed approach. Michelle has a Masters of Counselling Psychology Degree (MACP) from Yorkville University, and is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC association of Clinical Counsellors (#24651). In addition, Michelle has received additional training in suicide and crisis intervention, neurodiversity awareness, and DBT skills.
