Hello, I'm Michelle! I am a Care Team Lead here at KCC as well as an intake coordinator. In my practice, I center my therapeutic approach around you. I believe in creating a space where you feel safe, accepted, and truly heard. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly, knowing that you are brave for taking this step towards seeking support.

With over a decade of clinical experience, I have specialized training in attachment theory (how we connect, grow and get our needs met in relationships). As a MSOYW Facilitator, I help people heal from the pain of the past while making sense of their worthiness in the future. You are worthy!

With a humanistic/person-centered approach, I strive to understand intersecting identities and how they relate to individuals, couples, and families and their view of the world. I have worked with various clients and specialize in an empathetic, compassionate, judgment-free environment that includes work in addictions, depression/anxiety, life transitions, trauma, PTSD, grief/loss, co-dependency, and parenting concerns. I also work with individuals in marginalized/multicultural communities dealing with varying identity concerns. I am open and willing to use various evidence-based practices to meet the needs of the clients.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a passion for working with children and teens. I enjoy teaching new skills such as coping mechanisms for the client to try and reflect on. I am passionate about meeting clients where they are and building from there.

I have been working as a therapist since 2008 and enjoy helping people understand the role of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in creating a life worth living for themselves. Relationships are important for coping with day to day stressors. One that often gets neglected is the personal relationship an individual has with his or herself. I enjoy helping people identify their strengths and define themselves by these qualities.

I provide person-centered therapy for individuals, couples, adolescents and children. I provide trauma informed care for those who have experienced loss, abuse and mood/anxiety disorders.
