"I believe we must embrace and love the whole self, including the parts of us that seem broken or less attractive. Love must be unconditional, rather than dependent on the need to appear perfect. My invitation to you is that you would grow in walking in the delicate tension of acceptance and the pursuit of growth and strength." - Michelle

As a counselor and ultimately a human being, I am very warm and accepting, offering a gentle, playful (and sometimes zesty) approach to guiding clients on their healing journey.

Individual therapy sessions are designed to address your specific concerns and help you navigate life's challenges. Through a collaborative and supportive approach, you will be empowered to overcome obstacles and live a fulfilling life.

Family therapy sessions aim to improve family dynamics, resolve conflicts, and strengthen bonds. By promoting understanding and effective communication, I help families navigate challenges together and create harmonious relationships.

Couples therapy focuses on enhancing communication, building trust, and strengthening relationships. I provide a neutral and supportive environment for couples to address conflicts, improve intimacy, and foster a deeper connection.

My Approach
Authenticity
Authenticity is vital to living fully alive, and it is with this that I help clients face their most true self, thus allowing them to unburden from negative ways of coping with the stresses of life.
Empathy
Empathy is the foundation of my therapeutic approach. I provide a compassionate and understanding environment where you can feel heard, validated, and supported throughout your healing journey.
Personalized Care
I believe in offering personalized care to every client, tailored to focus on your unique needs and goals. The first few sessions will involve a lengthy review of your history, so I know how to best serve you. After this, we will collaboratively form your treatment plan to ensure you feel a sense of empowerment and walk in long-lasting breakthrough.
