Michelle’s goal as a therapist is to support her clients in navigating the challenges they are facing, and to walk alongside them on their journey of healing and growth. Through her own personal experiences, Michelle has a special interest in helping people who struggle with a new or existing chronic health diagnosis, as well as their family members. Michelle is also passionate about helping students to set goals and to tap into their greatest potential, and she has volunteered at the University of Waterloo as an alumni peer-mentor to support students facing various challenges.

Michelle brings warmth and positivity to her work, and she provides a safe, non-judgmental space for her clients. Her approach to therapy is collaborative, client-centred and strengths-based, and she uses a trauma-informed lens. In her spare time, Michelle enjoys reading, watching movies, playing music, singing, bike riding, and taking walks in nature, as well as baking new recipes for her family and friends.
