Client Testimonials
Jamie, AAPI Artist
“Working with Michelle for over 3 years has given me a whole new set of tools that I now use every day through many facets of my life. As an artist, I love that Michelle weaves creative exercises into some of my sessions with her to help me process my emotions. I truly appreciate her ability to empathize with me and understand the nuances in navigating complicated relationships and situations as an AAPI woman. She’s continued to guide me through everything from a breakup, to manifesting my own apartment, and on my path to self-discovery. Any client would be lucky to work with Michelle!”
Former 1:1 Client, AAPI Artist
“Working with Michelle has been life-changing in multiple ways! All my previous therapists were not people who understood the experience of being Asian-American, or what it meant to grow up as an Asian-American. I felt seen by Michelle in ways that I didn’t know I wanted to be seen or understood, and it really helped me unpack a lot of heavy thoughts and emotions revolving around my upbringing and family life. I also really treasured all the creative time Michelle carved out for me (in my private sessions, or for all of us in our group sessions). As a person with a design background, I was always used to making art that served a commercial purpose. Through the time I spent with Michelle, not only did I learn how to express myself through my art, but I also learned how to allow myself to make art that is just for me. All of this in turn has changed the course of my artistic practice as well so I’m really thankful that life brought us together when it did <3”
Kimmi Simon, AAPI Reiki Healer
“I’ve always considered myself an artist but had been in a creative rut for years when I started working with Michelle. I didn’t feel inspired by anything anymore and had a desire to be thrilled by life again. I had dreams for my career and my personal relationships that I felt shy about and kept to myself. Well, all of that is over! My sessions with Michelle have helped me spark my inner confidence. The creative exercises we do during our sessions activate my brain in new ways. She’s helped me re-discover who I am and I know exactly what I want in my personal and professional life now. I know my dreams are in reach and I’m enjoying the journey of getting there in my own unique and creative ways! Michelle asks thoughtful questions, listens and reflects back my experience so accurately. I can spew all my silly existential thoughts and bring a playful energy to each session that she matches so easily. I feel so seen and understood by her as an AAPI woman in my mid-30’s, carving a path for myself and claiming my space in the world.”
Workshop Feedback
Creative Workshop Attendee
“Michelle’s creative workshop was everything I needed that I didn’t know I needed. The guided meditation helped center my thoughts and connect with others. It was a great reminder no matter how old we are it is essential to play, and most importantly learn to have patience for ourselves and our human creative journey.”
