I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and enjoy being a guide on your journey to find your spark again. I use a humanistic approach to better understand the whole picture of who you are, where you come from, and the life you want to live. Keeping a warm and healing space, let us talk about all the things and nothings because I will listen. You are heard. You are not alone. Everyone has a story, but not everyone has an audience.

Get to know me

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

On our first session, I would like to hear your story. What are your strengths and weaknesses? What are your hobbies? What struggles have you faced or facing currently? I will focus on building rapport with you and connecting to create a healthy relationship.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Rapport building, our therapeutic relationship, is a must for us to have trust and build a connection. My greatest strength is being present, listening, understanding, and honesty. Using a narrative approach, I learn a lot about you and your strengths to help you continue to shine even when it's dark.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I serve all ages focusing on those who feel lost, are overthinkers, and low self-esteemers with goals of wanting change, to be better, and feeling more confident within themselves.

I had my first appointment with Michelle this past Saturday and was pretty nervous at first, but within minutes of talking I felt super comfortable with opening up to her. I thought she listened well and asked great follow-up questions to get to know me better. She’s genuinely nice and easy to talk to and I’m looking forward to our sessions in the future.

Michelle has a warm spirit which makes it super easy to open up to her. She stamps what she hears by repeating certain things and asking questions to allow me to speak further on the topic. She also lets me choose what I want to focus on and hears me out until I am done talking. Michelle is inquisitive and empathetic.
