Hello, I’m Michelle, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Hollywood, Florida. I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges, as well as offer support for OCD, adolescent issues, and self-esteem enhancement. Consider me a therapy mixologist, blending evidence-based modalities like psychodynamic, person-centered, CBT, DBT, and ACT to create personalized treatment plans. I believe that no two clients are alike, so I take time to understand your unique story, strengths, and goals. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, ensuring that each session is tailored to meet you where you are. In addition to traditional therapy techniques, I also incorporate creative strategies, including therapeutically applied role-playing games, to make therapy engaging and relevant for you. Whether you’re struggling with overwhelming emotions, feeling stuck in old patterns, or simply seeking greater meaning and confidence in your life, I’m committed to helping you build resilience, develop practical tools, and uncover new possibilities for growth and healing.
Our sessions will be a collaborative journey to your best self. Together, we'll explore your inner world, uncover strengths, and find deeper meaning and purpose. You'll find a safe space, individualized approaches, and a problem-solving partner. We'll also work on building your relationship skills, boosting your confidence, and strengthening your resilience.
My greatest strengths as a provider are my warmth, adaptability, and creativity in blending evidence-based therapies to meet each client’s unique needs. As a “therapy mixologist,” I combine approaches like psychodynamic, person-centered, CBT, DBT, and ACT, and I bring a sense of humor and directness to our work together. What makes me unique is my training in therapeutically applied role-playing games, which offers clients a playful, engaging way to build real-life skills. My experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, adolescent issues, and relationship challenges has helped me develop a collaborative, compassionate, and effective style that empowers people to discover their strengths and reach their goals.
I like working with individuals who are ready for change, but feel weighed down by anxiety, self-doubt, or past experiences. My clients are often curious, creative, and open to exploring new ways of understanding themselves - even if they’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed right now. Whether you’re navigating major life transitions, struggling with self-esteem, or dealing with intense emotions, I’m here for those who want a safe space to be themselves, try new approaches (like RPG therapy!), and discover practical tools for real growth and resilience. If you’re looking for therapy that’s collaborative, supportive, and a little outside the box, you’ll feel right at home here.
Other specialties
I identify as
Eclectic
In my practice, I take an eclectic approach, meaning I draw from a range of evidence-based therapies to find what works best for you. This includes techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and sometimes even therapeutic role-playing games (TT-RPGs). By blending these different methods, I can tailor our work together to your unique needs, making therapy more flexible, engaging, and effective for your goals.

I truly enjoy my time with Michelle. She is helping me break things down to make them easier to manage. For example, she is helping me come up with a morning and evening routine to regulate daily stress and overwhelm. We talked about keeping my goals realistic by aiming for one routine a day, if possible. Also, remembering that they are helpful suggestion's. I already feel better after just speaking about things out loud to someone else.

She was very relaxed and open and guided the conversation in a comfortable way! This is my first session with her, but I feel that I am in good hands!
