Hi there, I'm Michelle, Do you find yourself wanting more out of life? Better relationships and a deeper connection with friends, family and significant others. Are you having trouble meeting expectations? Or saying “No" then resenting saying yes? Do you have issues with setting boundaries? More often than we realize, we tend to lose ourselves giving what we don’t have while trying to manage it all; parenthood, relationships, careers, and life situations. We then become overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or stuck. Childhood experiences have a stronger impact on how we live our life today than you might realize. Let’s work together to discover how what you learned about relating to others in your formative years plays out in your present and if those ways of being are still serving you and helping you be the best version of yourself that you can be. I am an empathetic listener and a creative person who enjoys helping others unlock their potential in all areas of life. We will uncover your strengths together.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the things that's holding you back. Let's work together!

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have 10 years of experience working with caregivers that are caring for children, aging parents or spouses. Caregiving is very tough work and it is necessary to get the help that you need for yourself during this time. I have experience with adults with ADD/ADHD, substance issues, depression and anxiety. I help give my clients the tools that they need to live their life with less stress and worry. I offer all my clients a supportive place to discuss anything on their mind. My style is warm, genuine and open. My specialty is helping to guide clients through difficult times in their lives.
