Hi! I am Michelle. Do you get frustrated and down by life stressors? Do you want someone to bounce ideas off of when you are in a rut? Have you lost someone or something special in your life? I am here to help. I start where you start and go on the journey with you. I like to keep sessions conversational and interactive. We will focus on getting you to be the best version of you both mentally and physically to achieve overall wellness. I work from a solution-focused background and will empower you to make decisions and changes that you are comfortable doing on your timeline. Together we can develop a relationship based on trust and safety that will allow you to grow and progress.
I create a safe and comfortable environment where you can be open and honest. I want you to leave sessions knowing you have someone on your side, rooting for your success.
My first goal is to take an inventory of your strengths and capitalize on what you are already doing well. We will set small, achievable goals that lead to the bigger picture. I employ a client-centered approach that acknowledges you are the expert of your life and that I am a tool to help you make better choices. I will challenge those automatic thoughts that get in the way of your happiness.
I know being in therapy can be intimidating so I strive to ensure you will feel comfortable and heard. I create a non-judgemental zone where the focus is on your overall wellness.
