Personalized Psychotherapy for Lasting Change
about Michèle
Beyond my clinical training, I bring years of experience in corporate HR and leadership roles, giving me unique insights into the high-pressure environments and relational dynamics professionals face. This background helps me support you not just in personal growth, but also in finding balance and resilience within demanding work settings.
From career transitions to family complexities, I’ve navigated many seasons of life firsthand and understand how these challenges impact mental health. Drawing on my HR expertise, I tailor therapy to your unique situation, ensuring our work is both practical and deeply empathetic.
Decades of HR and Business Leadership Experience
Trauma can overshadow every aspect of life, from self-worth to day-to-day functioning. With specialized training in trauma recovery, I use interventions that have been shown to help individuals gently process painful experiences and reclaim control of their lives.
My goal is to honor your pace while providing the professional guidance you need for true healing. Through a compassionate, structured process, I help you integrate past hurts into a more hopeful narrative, empowering you to move forward with renewed confidence.
Specialized Training in Trauma Recovery
I believe in therapy that’s grounded in solid research and proven methods, rather than chasing the latest quick-fix trend. By focusing on evidence-based strategies, I help you develop long-term emotional resilience and meaningful coping skills.
At the same time, I’m committed to forming a genuine therapeutic bond with you. This relationship-focused approach establishes trust and comfort, allowing you to confront challenges more openly and foster deeper, lasting change.
Evidence-Based, Relationship-Focused Therapy
I combine compassion and honesty to help you address past trauma, navigate relationship challenges, and build genuine self-worth. Through my unique blend of life experience and clinical expertise, I strive to foster real, lasting transformation for every client who is ready to invest in their mental and emotional well-being.
Why choose me?
Rather than viewing you as a collection of problems, I see you as inherently resourceful and capable. My goal is to highlight and amplify your natural abilities—helping you build confidence, resilience, and the self-awareness needed to overcome obstacles and step into the life you’ve imagined.
Strengths-Based Framework
Meaningful change happens within the context of safe, supportive relationships, which is why our therapeutic bond is so important. We’ll work together to identify your unique relational strengths and vulnerabilities, ultimately fostering deeper connection and healthier communication in your day-to-day life.
Relationship-Focused Interventions
Through Psychodynamically-Oriented Therapy, we examine how your early experiences and unconscious patterns influence your current thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. By bringing these patterns to the surface, we can create space for new perspectives and more fulfilling ways of relating to yourself and others.
Psychodynamic Exploration
My therapeutic approach
My hope is that by seeing the honesty and vulnerability in my journey, you’ll feel safe enough to explore your own truths in therapy with me. I’m here to walk alongside you, helping you discover the hope, resilience, and sense of self-worth you truly deserve.
I share these details not to claim perfection, but to assure you that I understand life’s twists and turns on a personal level.
I came to that realization after decades in corporate HR, where I discovered my true passion wasn’t in metrics or business plans—it was in connecting one-on-one with people, hearing their stories, and helping them navigate complex personal challenges. My path toward becoming a therapist has also been shaped by my own experiences of childhood trauma and the transformation that came with facing it. I’ve lived through multiple life transitions—divorce, remarriage, managing a blended family situation, stepping into a parental role for a cognitively-challenged adult stepchild, layoffs, and career transitions—and each step reminded me that meaningful support can make all the difference in how we move forward.
