Hello! I'm Michelle. As a dedicated mental health therapist, I am committed to guiding individuals on their journey towards well-being with a strong emphasis on self-care and intention. My goal is to get my clients started with building awareness of the patterns and behaviors causing distress, setting out to build strategies into seeing the “bigger picture”, and then making the choice to shift away into "new and different". I believe that the mental health journey can feel different for everyone and is valid for all. It’s addressing the pile-on effects of everyday stress and learning how to breathe through anxiety and panic attacks. It’s establishing and keeping a daily routine as part of ADHD symptom management and finding self-compassion when experiencing depressive thoughts. There is no perfect or prescriptive way to approach the process of mental well-being. My role as a therapist is to support, facilitate, and provide collaborative space to examine all the pieces.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will briefly review intake forms, do brief introductions, cover what initiated seeking therapy, and set goals for the therapeutic space. First sessions can feel awkward, or they can feel like they "fly by". It is ok to acknowledge how you are feeling throughout the session, ask for pauses, and to come with therapy-process related questions for me. I am looking forward to getting started on our work together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I specialize in trauma-informed therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and person-centered approaches. Integrating these modalities with the implementation and highlighted significance of self-care and intention, I provide a holistic approach to addressing trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I have experience interacting with military affiliated (active duty and veteran issues), women, the LGBTQ community, and trauma. I take a holistic view of mental well-being. While clients will experience symptoms, emotions, and changes across the therapeutic process, I do not believe they are defined by what they experience. I believe it is vitally important for clients to feel seen, valued, and respected in the therapeutic space and work to create an environment that reflects that belief.
