Michelle joins Positive Minds Psychotherapy Services with over 10 years of experience in client care and training in Emotionally Focus Therapy (EFT). She is fascinated by the dynamics between couples, and between parents and their children. Families often struggle with finding connection, leaving them overwhelmed and helpless. Michelle has helped disconnected couples and families regain connection. She has also witnessed how stress from broken relationships impacts a person’s health, and how a restored relationship brings emotional and physical healing. EFT can help couples and families that are stuck in the negative cycle of disconnection to restore healthy relationships.
