Navigating life’s challenges can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. As your therapist, my mission is to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful growth, healing, and the tools to navigate life with confidence and resilience. I’m Michelle, and I am so glad you’re taking this brave step on your wellness journey. Life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes we encounter obstacles that leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or even disconnected from who we are. These challenges might stem from past trauma, ongoing stress, or life transitions that feel too big to manage alone. My passion is walking alongside my clients to help them reconnect with their strengths, rediscover their self-worth, and build a path toward a more fulfilling and joyful life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Your first session with me will be an opportunity to get to know each other and begin building a foundation of trust. We’ll explore your history, discuss what you’d like to achieve through therapy, and address any questions you may have. My approach is warm and collaborative, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported from the very start.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My personal life experiences have given me a deep sense of empathy and understanding. I bring a balance of warmth, compassion, and directness to our work together, creating a supportive and productive environment where real change can happen. While every client’s journey is unique, many begin to notice measurable progress within the first four sessions. Successful treatment means you’ve gained the tools to manage life’s challenges independently and feel empowered to live your best life. My ultimate goal is to guide you to a place where you no longer need me because you’re confidently moving forward on your own.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I specialize in supporting individuals who are motivated and open to change—those navigating life transitions, recovering from trauma, or grappling with self-esteem challenges. My goal is to help you uncover what’s holding you back and work together to create a life that feels authentic and empowering.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Integrative
Every person’s experience is unique, which is why I use an integrative approach to therapy. This method combines techniques from various therapeutic models to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re looking for emotional clarity, tools for coping, or ways to enhance your relationships, we’ll tailor our sessions to fit your goals and create lasting change.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are deeply connected, and CBT helps us untangle these connections. Using this evidence-based approach, I’ll help you identify unhelpful patterns and replace them with healthier ways of thinking and acting. Together, we’ll create practical strategies that empower you to overcome challenges and thrive in your daily life.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma can leave deep imprints, but healing is possible. My trauma-informed approach ensures that our work together prioritizes your safety and comfort. By understanding the impact of trauma on the mind and body, I’ll guide you through a healing process that is compassionate, non-judgmental, and tailored to your pace. We’ll focus on restoring a sense of control, trust, and hope in your life.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Life is full of challenges, but solution-focused therapy emphasizes your strengths and abilities to create meaningful change. Together, we will identify what’s working in your life and build on those successes to help you achieve your goals. This forward-thinking approach fosters optimism and empowers you to create actionable steps toward the future you envision.
