Michele Williams (formerly Michele Bourbonnais), Therapist
I help individuals break free from old patterns, rediscover their spark, and align mind, body, and spirit to create lasting change. Therapy with me is a space for clarity, growth, and stepping into your full potential. As Brené Brown reminds us, “Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it… Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” This perspective guides my work—creating space to embrace vulnerability, reclaim joy, and move toward deeper connection. I also specialize in supporting couples to reconnect, repair, and strengthen their bond through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, past trauma, conflict, or trust issues, my goal is to help you uncover what keeps you stuck, build meaningful connections, and move toward a life and relationships that truly thrive.
