It's Time To Invest In You

Learn To Love All Of You

You've started to take note of patterns in your life that leave you questioning whether or not they serve you. These patterns look like being a perfectionist, a people pleaser, being anxious about how others perceive you, questioning your enoughness, or even struggling to have boundaries which continually lead you to burnout. It doesn’t have to be this way. Reclaim all of you, show up imperfect, and find intentional joy in your grounded, connected, and authentic self.

Find Balance In Your Relationship With Others

I help folx identify ways they show up in spaces that leave them feeling disconnected. In our co-created space, we find ways to move toward balance, wholeness, and connection to themselves. I work from a brain, body, and relational approach to help people create and foster a secure attachment to themselves. When we are securely attached to who we are, this provides a positive impact on us and those around us.

Michelle is a second-gen queer Filipina, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and certified Brainspotting Therapist and Consultant. Her lived experience with perfectionism and people-pleasing have significantly influenced her therapeutic practice and fueled her strong desire for healing. In addition, Michelle proudly serves as the co-host of "Ask Your Ates," a Filipinx mental health podcast dedicated to the crucial goals of decolonization and destigmatization, aptly translated from Tagalog to English as "Ask Your Older Sisters."
