Hi there, I'm Michelle!

I help individuals and couples cope with depression, anxiety, and differences in priorities while improving communication and understanding. I have worked with young children through the elderly in social services settings, and I mostly work with adults, young adults through older population on Rula.

My focus

I'm often sought by people of Asian descent who appreciate that I hold many Asian values. I work with individuals facing depression, anxiety, and trauma, as well as couples facing communication struggles, parenting challenges, and custody-related concerns.

My approach

In addition to the Cognitive Behavior type of approach, I bring a spiritual perspective to my work, creating space for values and meaning alongside practical tools for change. I also use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to work on trauma, as well as depression and anxiety if appropriate.
