Hi, I'm Michele. I love what I do and truly believe that we all deserve to heal and live with joy. Many clients I see have been through a recent trauma or feel overwhelmed and anxious for a variety of reasons. They have struggled far too long & have even been discouraged by past therapeutic experiences. If you are struggling, you may feel stuck. It can be a lonely place to be. You don’t have to hold onto it all. Good therapy is relational, interactive and clinically sound. You might cry, but you will laugh find hope and heal.

I know that you have a "pretty good" life. Perhaps you have done some work in therapy before, and things are finally stable. Yet, you sometimes feel like you are playing a part, rather than embracing and expressing your authentic self. You may feel uncomfortable in your own skin, self-conscious, or like you are not "enough." You may struggle to find your authentic voice and honor your values in your relationships or career. Life circumstances, societal pressures, past trauma, depression, and anxiety can all create obstacles to experiencing inner peace, trust, and confidence.

Are you a woman who is feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed? Are you having difficulty focusing, communicating effectively or maintaining work life balance? If so, I am committed to working collaboratively with you to navigate the path forward. I believe in using a strength-based approach to help you develop healthy coping strategies that will facilitate your ability to reduce negative patterns, thoughts and feelings and replace them with confidence, motivation and positivity. In addition, by using a variety of evidence-based techniques I will guide you on a path to achieve your goals and dreams so you can live your best life !
