My mission is to help high-achieving women like you be powerful, fulfilled and supported as you go after the life and relationships you want to create. I want you to ‘have it all’ without having to ‘hold’ it all.
If you listen intently, there’s a quiet voice inside.
That voice is telling you that there’s more to life than this.
That part of you is waiting for you to trust yourself, stop waiting and follow your inner-guidance with that trembling courage deep inside you.
I’m here to help you get crystal clear about what you really want along with the courage, capacity, and tools to go for it. We don’t segment. Your whole life is connected, and so are all the conflicting parts in you and the roles you play. I specialize in working with ambitious women as they navigate challenges in their relationships. I work with individuals, and couples.
Psychotherapy can influence all areas of your life, and often goes deeper than coaching, with a greater focus supporting you with your mental health, such as distorted thoughts, challenging emotions, past events, stress, uncertainty, etc. and allows us to use evidence-based tools and strategies specific to the regulated profession of psychotherapy. Couples counselling, while also evidence based, is primarily focused on the relationship and connectedness, and is not a substitute for individual therapy. My preferred modalities are DBT, ACT, IFS, and EFT.
“In a psychotherapeutic relationship, both (client and therapist) work together to bring about positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning. Individuals usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life” (CRPO).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Michelle is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). If you live outside Ontario and would like psychotherapy (aka therapy or counselling), then please look for a registered professional in your province or state.
I work with companies and individuals, helping the leaders navigate the complexity of their working and personal circumstances. I’m also known as an executive coach with a very unique, style that supports leadership and success through care towards the individual and what’s really going to make a difference for them.
When I coach, it’s often to help you navigate your dynamic or complex life (including career and relationships) and help you to align your mindset and actions with your goals or even deepest desires. This way, your ambitions are more likely realized and you can feel more alive and at peace along the way.
I call this the POWER LOVE approach.
Power Love isn’t being obsessed with “power” (no medieval tyrants here!) and it isn’t about falling in love either.
It’s about revealing the parts of ourselves that aren’t so powerful… so that you can reclaim them to actually gain power and vitality, while experiencing profound love and connection in your whole life.
A Power Love mindset allows us to wholeheartedly go after what we want, knowing full well that nothing is guaranteed, and anything is possible.
It’s about tearing down brick walls that you’ve built, and building a solid foundation within so you can finally achieve the things you desire and deserve and totally enjoy the journey too.
Coaching is NOT a mental health service.
Whether you receive coaching or psychotherapy from Michelle, this is a safe space for you to show up as your raw and real self so you can even more wildly love your whole and fulfilling life.
And that means accessing and needling into those areas where – gulp – you might feel less than powerful. In other works, you’re super badass for doing this! Yay you!!
Please note, I am not permitted to collect or share psychotherapy testimonials. Here are some of what coaching clients have said over the years.
If you want my support, be sure to check out my services page and book a free consult to determine if we’re a fit!
