I am Michele, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience in the field. I enjoy working with older teens and adults who are hoping to improve their relationships, find some joy in life and increase self-awareness. I like to help people lower their stress, set boundaries with others and work through difficult times. I have extensive experience working with clients dealing with a chronic or terminal illness, family conflict, partner conflict, aging parents, navigating dementia or Alzheimer's, family member alienation, and mid-life sadness. I have a special interest in working with clients on issues related to parenting. This includes those with ADHD, their parents, siblings, and partners. I believe that, while wonderful and worth it, the process of parenting and being parented is often a rough road. I would like to help people be able to look back on how they parented and how they were parented, and have positive memories. It's never too late to change one's mindset, set boundaries, accept and acknowledge how and what we need to change, and move forward to be the best we can be.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Are you struggling in some way and wondering if you should try therapy? At some point, everyone will experience a time in their life when they need help. Whether you are looking to learn ways to decrease stress and cope with life's ups and downs, have a more positive relationship with your kids or partner, or navigate a difficult issue, therapy is a good place to start. Whether concerns are bit or small, talking to someone can help you gain insight into what is working and not working in your life. Your life can e less stressful, you can figure out the how and why, and it starts with a consultation with a therapist.
