Hello! I'm Michelle, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and School Counselor based in Florida. With a deep passion for supporting individuals, couples, and families, I bring both my professional expertise and personal experiences as a mom into my practice. My goal is to create a nurturing and supportive environment where my clients can thrive and overcome their challenges. I specialize in grief counseling, offering compassionate guidance to those navigating the difficult journey of loss. Additionally, I work extensively with teenagers, helping them manage the unique challenges of adolescence and build a strong foundation for their future. In my couples therapy sessions, I utilize the Gottman Method to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. My diverse background allows me to connect with clients on a deeper level, fostering growth, resilience, and well-being in all aspects of their lives.

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

In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive environment. We will discuss your goals, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. I will ask questions to understand your background and relationship dynamics. Together, we will create a plan tailored to your needs, setting the foundation for our work together.

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

My greatest strengths as a provider are my empathetic and culturally sensitive approach, especially with the Latino community. I excel in using the Gottman Method for couples therapy to improve communication and connection. I also have strong experience in grief counseling, working with teenagers, and school counseling. My background as a mom helps me relate to clients and offer practical, effective support.

Gottman method

In my therapeutic work, I incorporate the Gottman Method, having received advanced training at Level 2. This approach emphasizes evidence-based interventions for couples, fostering communication, understanding, and building stronger, healthier relationships.
