Hello - I'm Michele and I've been in practice for the last 16 years working with children and families first in teen crisis center, residential housing for severe and persistent mentally ill adults, as a school counselor in both elementary and middle school setting and then in community mental health. These experiences have given me understanding of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and social pressures. I understand that many of these issues impair a person's functioning at home, school, and with their friends. I've been told that I'm both playful, insightful, and yet straightforward in my approach to therapy.
I'm a Registered Sandplay Practitioner with the Sandplay Therapist of America. When you enter my office, you will find a large arrangement of figures filling an entire wall, two sand trays, and a protected and safe place to process both conscious and unconscious material that causes you distress. This is safe for trauma work.
Please contact me with more questions, I know that counseling can be intimidating and finding a provider that fits your personality can be difficult. I'm open to helping you find a good fit and/or referring you to someone that I think might work with your special circumstances.
