As a resident in counseling I believe that mental health is essential aspect of a person’s holistic health, and it is as important to work on as a person’s physical health. Healthy people manage their behaviors, emotions, and thoughts in functional stable manner, many people are not taught the skills necessary to do this. By providing a positive and supportive setting we can work together to create healthier ways of functioning in the world you live or perform in!

You deserve support that brings peace and comfort to your mind, body, and heart. You and your story deserve to be heard and held as you heal. No matter what part of life you are currently in, you deserve a therapist that you connect with. I help clients in all stages of life process feelings of anxiety, depression, loss, and post-traumatic stress. I offer a holistic method through a combination of mindfulness, movement, spirituality, and psychotherapy. My goal is for you to gain helpful coping skills, emotional processing, and a deeper sense of self. All parts of you are welcome and honored!

I specialize in working with children, teens, and their families. I work with children and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, athletic pressure, and managing stress. I have a particular interest in helping families improve their relationships, including siblings, parent-child, co-parents, and step families. I also have experience working with adoption and foster care. If you are worried about your relationship with your child, their ability to cope with stress, emotional outbursts, risky behaviors, or following directions, I can help.

I am passionate about helping individuals on their healing journey, and believe we all have the capacity to heal. My role is to be your guide, build on your strengths, and help you expand your self-compassion. I have experience working with individuals who are struggling with issues such as life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, disconnection, stress, trauma, and relationship issues.

Healing can be experienced in an empathetic relationship where you feel accepted, valued, and heard. Past hurts, damaging relationships, traumatic experiences, and life stressors can leave you feeling burdened with unmanageable emotions. My wish is to come alongside you as we work to lighten your load and empower you with increased self-awareness and self-compassion. An environment of non-judgment and the provision of caring support can enhance your inherent ability to grow, to change, and to find lasting freedom in your life.

When life pulls you every which way, finding peace within yourself and your body can be difficult. I offer an approach to therapy that allows the client to lead their journey toward growth and healing. I believe that creating a warm and compassionate environment will allow you to feel safe and grounded during every session. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, and women's health issues. I also have extensive experience working with children, youth, and adolescents who are experiencing a difficult life change within their household or the world around them.

We all have past painful experiences (trauma) that affect us. When left untreated, trauma is relived in your thought patterns, emotional responses, and body sensations. Trauma also interferes with social, family, and community relationships that provide vital support. RITT assists you in reconnecting the internal (mind, body, and emotions) as well as the external (social, family, and community) for lasting and integrated healing. Our therapists are trained in culturally responsive, proven methods to address the many impacts of trauma.

Hello and Welcome! I specialize in treating adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, relational strain, depression, substance use, and life transitions. Choosing to engage in therapy is a potentially life changing choice and I would love to help you on your path.

I deeply believe in therapy as a joint and transformative space that can lead people to develop new skills and to discover their unique internal capacity to connect, heal, and thrive.

Hi, my name is Michelle. I am a licensed therapist experienced in trauma focused therapy approaches. I've been working in the social work field in the Charlottesville area since 2015. I believe in a strength-based and relationship-focused approach in working with clients.

Whether you are struggling with issues like anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or self doubt, I have learned to trust that the therapeutic relationship can catalyze an upward spiral of healing and growth we all are wired for. Maybe you are curious about insecure patterns you have in relationships at home, work, and/or with friends, or you feel generally anxious, tense, stuck or shut down about life right now and you want to approach life from a place of security. I affirm your decision to reach out for support and guidance and believe that through our work together, you can not only feel better but thrive.

I am passionate about supporting people with trauma histories, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, relational concerns, and also those who are sitting with grief and loss. People may often feel frozen, isolated, or as if they have lost a vital connection with themselves as they face these hardships. My hope is that therapy can provide a compassionate container where people can safely tend to and reconnect with themselves as they move forward. To facilitate this work, I often utilize mindfulness, AEDP, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR.

I believe we all just want to do, feel and be a little better every day. I use an approach based in kindness, compassion, mindfulness and strength to help you find a way to be better everyday in your life and your relationships. I will help you explore emotional lability, past trauma, feeling stuck, and lack of hope for a better future. Grief, fear and feeling overwhelmed often stops us from being the best we can be. If you want to move towards a better you, I can offer some help
