Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) from Connecticut. I received my Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Nebraska- Lincoln, and have been practicing for over 20 years. My current practice accepts individual adults (18+). I have experience across all age groups, and over 15 years of experience in the field of education. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you to move forward in a positive way.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we will discuss what issues you would like to address as we meet. We will also talk about your current life, and look at your systems of support and your stressors.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am very compassionate, and encourage clients to feel relaxed and safe in our counseling space. I offer varying perspectives to consider as we work through your topics of concern.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with adults who are struggling with self esteem and imposter syndrome. I also have extensive experience with depression and anxiety issues. In addition, I have over 15 years of experience in adult education and have knowledge of career and college counseling.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the relationship between our thoughts and our behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. Adjusting our thinking can often times allow us to our emotional and physical health, as well as our interpersonal relationships and self-esteem.

Humanistic

By focusing on our strengths and ability to adjust our thinking, a Humanistic approach puts your own abilities center stage to help yourself and realize your personal potential.

Right off the back Michelle made me feel safe and comfortable about expressing myself. I felt like there was no judgement. My first therapy session ever and I'm very happy Michelle made it a beautiful experience.
