Hello and welcome to your mental health therapy journey. You’re about to embark on a meaningful path of self-discovery, growth, and healing. I would be honored to walk alongside you. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a deep passion for helping others navigate life’s challenges and uncover their inner strengths. Long before I earned my credentials, I have always felt I was a counselor. Formal training only deepened my understanding and sharpened my skills. Outside the therapy room, I’m a storyteller at heart and a collector of hobbies many of which involve craft projects I’ve enthusiastically started (and occasionally forgotten). I bring creativity, curiosity, and compassion into my practice, and I look forward to supporting you as you explore what it means to thrive.
Our first session is all about laying the foundation for a strong therapeutic alliance. I like to approach this by introducing a few key topics and having a human conversation. There’s no pressure to dive deep right away as I believe anything meaningful will make its way to the surface in its own time and I believe in honoring that process.
I believe what makes me a strong therapist is my understanding of my role: I’m here to guide, not to decide. I’ll advocate for you and offer unwavering support but I’ll also hold you accountable when you’re not showing up for yourself. I bring patience and compassion to our work, and I’m not afraid to challenge your inner critic when it stands in the way of your growth.
Have you struggled to find a sense of belonging? If you’re in the process of discovering who you are or trying to find your place in a world that doesn’t always feel welcoming, I’d be honored to support you. Together, we can explore your story and shape your own narrative with confidence to help you feel empowered to live authentically.

Michelle is very validating regarding my struggles. This session was mostly about establishing rapport and getting to know me and my story, and so a lot of guidance wasn't necessary, but I feel very confident in the connection and the foundation of support built during this introductory session.
