Well, what brought me to this provider was originally the fact that my first provider left the company. But Michele and I clicked immediately and I feel very comfortable sharing things with her. She will tell me what a need to hear and not just what I want to hear. I just feel so comfortable with her. I trust her completely. I honestly feel that she has my best interest at heart and isn’t just watching the clock waiting for the session to end. I genuinely feel cared about.

A lovely soul with a smile that lights up the room. Seriously, she brightens my day. I find her easy to sit down with an open up to and for that I am dearly grateful. She can put a new light on things that seem worrisome and takes the edge off with ease. I am grateful Kaiser has allowed me access to Michele; a very warm and caring person. Thank you.
