It is imperative for me to provide my clients with a warm, safe, and comfortable therapeutic space in which they will be invited to share, explore, and grow. Building a healthy collaborative relationship with my clients provides a foundation for our work together. I not only seek to alleviate symptoms and foster self-understanding, but I also encourage my clients to learn from their symptoms. I have found that increasing one's sense of awareness and balance can be helpful in many situations. At the same time, I do my best to meet clients where they are in their lives and work at their pace.

Hello, my name is Michelle. I believe therapy is a time to examine internalized experiences that shape our perspectives and behaviors. Engaging in introspective work together can challenge us to reframe maladaptive thoughts. I aim to assist clients with managing emotional dysregulation and symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, and trauma in a safe, nonjudgmental space. I hope to foster growth and strengthen coping skills during difficult transitional points in a person’s life.

Life happens! At some point in our lives we are faced with challenges that effect us personally or professionally. Sometimes we have people we can talk to about these minor set backs. Other times, we wish there was someone we could talk to, honestly, about the most troubling aspects of our lives without fear of being judged. Having a supportive person in our lives who is objective makes a difference in getting through these "bumps in the road". This is, ideally, what a counselor or therapist is for.
