About Michelle
Hi, I’m Michelle. As a dedicated Counsellor based in Langley, BC, I help people reclaim joy in their lives and recover happiness in their relationships. My sessions are experiential, ensuring that you don't just talk about change, you experience it. Change happens more efficiently at a sensory level, this is achieved through an integrative approach including nervous system regulation and somatic techniques.
As a mom of two wonderful children, my passion is to demonstrate emotional responsibility and model healthy relationships for my girls, helping them grow into strong, thriving adults. Having survived relational and developmental trauma myself, I understand how early childhood survival strategies can set the stage for unhealthy patterns in adult relationships.As a mixed first-generation Filipino Canadian with European and Cree heritage, and someone who has worked through generational trauma, I deeply understand the intricate balance of navigating traditional values, Southeast Asian cultural nuances, and Western influences.
With the right support, it is possible to break these patterns and discover new ways of showing up. When our relationships are healthy and functional, happiness and joy naturally flow.
We have the profound capacity to heal, especially when someone is willing to lend a helping hand. I've embraced that role wholeheartedly.
