Relationship Counselling
Mich has experience and interest in working with folks in relationships- romantic/sexual, familial, friendship, colleagues, and more. Mich’s work focuses on deepening self-awareness, and identifying ‘problem’ patterns that develop between people in order to reach resolution and re-establish connection.
Individual Counselling
Mich often works with individuals experiencing things like anxiety, depression, identity and gender exploration, neurodivergent-related issues, sexual exploration, trauma, self-esteem and grief. Mich has also worked in veterinary medicine for 20 years, and has a deep understanding and appreciation for the human-animal bond. They have experience in supporting folks in the veterinary and animal-care community, as well as assisting folks in preparation for a pet’s death, and grief in pet loss.
Things you can expect when working with Mich:
An intersectional feminist, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed perspective. Their work is collaborative and non-judgmental.
Consent at all times. You are the expert in your own life, and have full control over what we talk about (or don’t talk about) in therapy.
Transparency. There is no secret analysis happening behind the scenes. Mich strives to co-create a healing space that works for you.
Laughter. Mich firmly believes in the power of levity and laughter, and welcomes that in their therapeutic work.
