About Michelle
A Life of Deep Listening
For over fifteen years, Michelle has been working with individuals to deepen their relationship with the unconscious: the hidden currents that shape dreams, moods, relationships, and the stories we tell about ourselves.
Trained in the Jungian tradition, Michelle’s approach is rooted in the belief that each person carries within them a natural movement toward wholeness, what Jung called individuation. The task of therapy is not to “fix” something broken, but to create the conditions for that deeper self to emerge.
She works primarily in a depth-oriented, non-directive way: listening not just to what is said, but to the spaces between, the repetitions, the dreams, and the emotions that linger after a session ends.

On the Work
Michelle believes that the deepest work happens in the space between two people, a space where the analyst holds the patient’s experience with care, without rushing to interpret or fix. In that space, something unexpected can emerge: the patient begins to see themselves differently. Not because they’ve been told to. Because they’ve been seen.
Technique is beside the point. What matters is presence, the patient’s and the analyst’s, each offering the other something real.
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
— Carl Jung
