The greatest skill in life: Asking for help. The most successful people have a team to assist in their decision making and managing priorities. I want to be on your team. Fun Fact: I am big on the team mentality because I referee basketball. Refereeing requires an unbiased point of view and thick skin. Ball don't lie. I cast no judgment and I am ready to listen to the good, the bad, and the ugly. I am here for you ! Therapy is a powerful tool during any change of life circumstance because it can be uncomfortable and confusing. This discomfort could surface some negative coping skills. My role is to advocate for your needs, help identify the stressors, and guide you to the best changes necessary to challenge yourself during this trying time. Working in the drug and alcohol field for 10+ years has provided me with the opportunity to work with people from all walks of life relearning how to operate in the world again without previous bad habits (substances, codependency, eating disorders, etc.) Trauma was usually the running theme for most people in addiction. I am experienced with working with clients with PTSD and couples/family work to process and begin the recovery process. *Disclaimer: I cannot take evening appointments until after the fall football season, my apologies.

Hello! I appreciate that you’re taking this step toward finding a therapist you feel will be a good fit for you. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience. For most of this time I have worked with people around issues of depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, and relationship/family issues. I am also passionate about working with LGBTQ folks around issues of coming out and self-acceptance. I know that the decision to look for a therapist isn’t always an easy one but, by doing so, you are taking an important first step toward creating change for yourself! I take a down-to-earth, supportive, conversational approach to therapy. I engage in discussion and don’t hesitate to share my own life experience when appropriate. I find that a more personal approach helps strengthen the relationship between me and the people I meet with which, in turn, will help you feel more comfortable being open in sessions. I take this approach because therapy is most successful when a person feels like their therapist understands them and when there is some level of connection. I focus on ensuring you will feel both seen and heard starting with our first session. You will be approached by me with curiosity, interest, and care at all times. At the start of your sessions with me I will ask how you’d like to start that day’s conversation and, if you’re not sure, will support you in discovering what might be important for you to talk about in the moment. I invite you to schedule a first session to see if I am a good fit for what you’re looking for in therapy!

Hi! I'm Michelle. If you are tired of feeing anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or even confused about what to do next… I am here to help. I provide short term therapy that is designed to “lift the weight off your shoulder” within the first session. Many people only choose therapy when they are in crisis and need immediate relief. Together we will identify the source of destress and ways to reduce or eliminate it. This can be done in many ways, but the purpose is to find that way that helps YOU! By using your strengths and resources we will develop an action plan to enable you to use effective coping skills to gain and maintain emotional and mental balance long after you complete treatment. It’s important to know therapy isn’t just about helping you feel better, it’s about helping you Live Better. For the last twenty years, I have devoted myself to enhancing the well-being others. My flexibility has allowed me to engage in a range of positions, both volunteer and work related; thus, heightening my overall experience. I have been committed to empowering individuals with the tools to use their inner strength to overcome those stumbling blocks within.

Hi there—it's a pleasure to meet you. I am a Masters‑Level Board‑Certified Music Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor with more than two decades of experience supporting individuals across inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient settings. I understand how much courage it takes to reach out for support, and I strive to make therapy a place where you feel safe, understood, and free from judgment. I work with individuals across the lifespan—from children and teens to adults and older adults—and I tailor my approach to meet each person where they are developmentally and emotionally. My work is rooted in trauma‑informed care, emphasizing safety, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. I recognize the impact that trauma can have on the nervous system, relationships, and daily functioning, and I approach each session with sensitivity, attunement, and respect for your lived experience. As a creative arts therapist, I also integrate music and other expressive modalities when helpful—offering additional pathways for emotional processing, self‑expression, and insight, especially when words alone feel limiting. I believe healing begins with a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship, and I am committed to listening deeply and communicating with compassion and honesty. My approach focuses on empowering you with the tools, insight, and emotional skills you need to navigate life more effectively and with greater confidence. Scheduling & Missed Appointment Policy: I understand that life can be unpredictable, especially for families and young clients. I offer one free missed session. After that, a $25 fee is applied for no‑shows or cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance. This helps me hold your spot and ensure consistent care while keeping sessions accessible and supportive. Session Lengths: Intake sessions are 60 minutes. Follow‑up sessions may be 30, 45, or 60 minutes depending on your needs and preferences.

Life rarely comes with a roadmap, and lately, just getting through your daily checklist might feel like an uphill battle. Maybe you are constantly doubting yourself, feeling hijacked by anxiety, or realizing that the way you’ve been coping with stress or anger just isn't working anymore. If you are a teenager, college student, adult, or an exhausted parent trying to handle a massive life transition by trial and error, I want you to know two things: your feelings make complete sense, and you do not have to figure this out by yourself.

Hello, and welcome! My introduction to the counseling field began while working within therapeutic group homes that served children through adults experiencing mental health struggles. This experience, both enriching and meaningful, inspired my interest in pursuing counseling. I was deeply moved by the varying degrees of challenging life experiences that we are all tasked with navigating and the ways we attempt to cope, gain insight from, and hopefully transform our adverse circumstances. I received my Master of Social Work degree from Portland State University and since, I’ve had the opportunity to assist a diverse range of clients in both inpatient treatment and outpatient therapy settings, and more recently, at a college counseling clinic at the University of Montana. Within these programs, I’ve helped clients address anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, academic challenges, relationships, identity changes, sexuality, and general life stressors. I am grateful that I can work to help individuals navigate the evolving nature of their lives by providing unconditional positive regard, encouragement, and supportive guidance.

This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
