I’m Michele James, a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Couple and Family Therapist with close to 30 years of experience. I’m also an Accredited Family Mediator with past experience in Collaborative Practice, so I understand separation from both the emotional and the practical side. I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR, tailored to what you need, to help you feel calmer, less reactive and more like yourself.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, unsettled, and exhausted by life and the weight of midlife transitions? Perhaps you are navigating a painful crossroads in your relationship and considering separation. Maybe you are struggling to find peace in your parenting, or feeling the heavy, dual pressure of caring for aging parents while managing your own life.

In your 40’s and 50’s, life can feel like a constant balancing act. You might find yourself reacting from stress rather than responding from your values. Deep down, you know you want to feel calmer, less reactive, and more aligned with who you truly are. You are ready to stop just surviving the day-to-day and start doing the deep work to heal.
