      <image:title>About Michelle - My experience.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I have a PhD in Counselling Psychology from the University of Calgary. I am a Registered Psychologist in Alberta (#5456) and British Columbia (#2634). I completed my residency in Los Angeles, California where I supervised doctoral students in addition to providing psychotherapy. My expertise is with people managing: depression, anxiety, eating disorders, weight-issues, and chronic health conditions. I also specialize in couple therapy and the cross-over between individual health conditions in relationships. Why choose me? Who you trust to be vulnerable with is incredibly important. But, you need more than a safe person to talk to. My goal is to provide a safe place for you to share your biggest challenges and assist you in improving your well-being. I take a client centred approach in therapy, meaning you and I work as a team, with you as the team captain. I became a therapist because wanted to make a difference in peoples lives. I chose to focus on the connection between physical and mental health issues because I know personally the struggle of chronic pain, fatigue, and digestive distress. I also know there is a way to manage these issues, with social support and guidance being crucial. I want to be that source of support for you.</image:caption>
