Hi, I’m Michaëlle (me-kai-el),
And I’m so happy you’re here! As a licensed therapist, I am committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and work toward a healthier, more fulfilling future. With nearly 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in helping clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, and life transitions. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth, and my goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where we can explore your thoughts and feelings together to define the pathway to your future self.
my personal philosophy
My personal philosophy centers around the belief that healing is a journey, not a destination. Therapy can be a transformative experience, but it requires courage, commitment, and openness. My role is to walk alongside you in this process, helping you tap into your inner resources and strengths while offering guidance and tools that are practical and effective.
my approach
I approach therapy with the understanding that each person is unique, and no two experiences are exactly alike. This is why I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the specific needs, goals, and preferences of each client. Whether you’re seeking to build better coping skills, address long-standing emotional pain, or work through a specific life challenge, I am here to support you on that journey.
I blend elements of evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches, to help you better understand your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. My approach is rooted in empathy and respect, and I believe that creating a strong therapeutic alliance is essential for healing and growth. Throughout our sessions, I will listen deeply and ask thought-provoking questions, guiding you toward greater self-awareness and insight.
I am also passionate about helping people improve their relationships, whether it’s with a partner, God, family members, friends, or even with themselves. Building stronger communication skills, learning healthy boundaries, and fostering deeper empathy are just a few of the tools I can help you develop.
I work with individuals across the lifespan, from children to young adults navigating early adulthood to older adults coping with life transitions or aging-related concerns. In our work together, you can expect to feel heard, supported, and empowered. I am committed to helping you not only survive but thrive, developing skills that will serve you long after our work together has concluded.
