Welcome! I am Michelle.

I am Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology, Criminology, a post graduate certificate in Addictions: Treatment and Prevention, and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. In addition to my education, I have obtained advance training and education in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) as an area of focus to support couples in building their connection.

With warmth, empathy and sometimes even humour, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), along with Attachment Science to help couples and individuals navigate difficult conversations. I support clients to slow down and unpack their thoughts and feelings in an emotionally safe space.

I have a special interest in working with interracial and interethnic couples that see themselves as worlds apart. I recognize the challenges of navigating familial and cultural expectations of having a partner with a different cultural landscape. If you’re a couple or an individual looking to build connection and joy in your life, Welcome. I look forward in working together with you.

Hi, I’m Shagoon! I am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and have a deep passion for helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and client-centered, creating a safe space where you can explore your emotions, strengthen self-awareness, and build meaningful connections.

I primarily draw from Narrative Therapy, helping clients re-author their stories in ways that empower them and align with their values. I also integrate attachment-based approaches and am actively building my skills in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to support couples in deepening their emotional bonds and improving communication. Whether you’re feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, struggling with self-doubt, or facing relationship challenges, I’m here to support you with empathy and practical tools tailored to your unique needs.
