Life is hard! There is no instructional manual for how to figure it all out! I value authenticity and attunement in session-my job is to be someone you can trust and someone you feel comfortable with I hope that we can come up with a way of exploring your life in a way that is meaningful to you and helps you make sense of your life and your experiences.
Come skeptical! Come with questions! Its not your job to trust me, or open up to me if you don’t want to-its my job to help create a genuine and authentic space so we can sort out the problems you are dealing with together, and help you come up with a better way to handle them.

Hey there, I'm Michelle! My approach to therapy is relational and collaborative, meaning you and I both work together toward your healing. Once we've established a foundation of trust, my style leans creative and playful, as I believe the role of laughter is often undervalued in the therapeutic process. Our struggles aren't silly, but we human beings often are. Many clients enter treatment expecting tears, and they usually show up, but joy is equally powerful and cathartic. A major component of my job is to give you a safe place to feel ALL your feelings, process them, and ultimately find some balance in your human experience.

When we nurture and celebrate a child's inner spark, we invite healing and growth. I specialize in supporting children who experience anxiety, self-doubt, and a deep sense of not feeling “enough.” My work centers on transforming anxiety and self-criticism into confidence, curiosity, and self-acceptance.
With over ten years of experience supporting children across settings including school, community, and home, I have extensive knowledge of the educational system, behavioral health systems, and community resources. I enjoy advocating for the needs of children at school and connecting families to additional supports.

I believe that meaningful change comes not only from easing distress, but from developing a deeper understanding of yourself. I work with adults and couples who want to explore the unconscious patterns shaping their relationships, sexuality, and inner life. My approach is psychoanalytic and collaborative — we slow things down enough to notice what repeats, what gets silenced, and what still longs to be expressed.
I provide a nonjudgmental space for those navigating issues of intimacy, sexuality, and relational dynamics. I practice within psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, couples, and sex therapy frames.

You deserve to be welcomed exactly as you are—and supported as you grow into who you’re becoming. Maybe there are patterns you’re ready to change, old wounds that still ache, or questions that feel too big to face alone. Maybe you’re trying to thrive in a world that hasn’t always made room for your brain, body, or identity. Whether you're navigating neurodivergence, disability, trauma, grief, or simply the weight of being human, therapy can offer a space to explore what’s shaped you—and help you shape what comes next with intention and care.

Disappointment, stress, and trauma can make us forget who we really are: inherently good beings, capable of giving and receiving love in a balanced, healthy way. I can help you to remember, by providing a safe, warm, and welcoming space where you can share your experiences. We'll explore your story together and, along the way, take a look at your strengths, your potential, and what stands between you and strong, healthy connections with yourself and others. I have a deep understanding of how essential - and fragile - trust can be.

My clinical experience began in general private practice, and I later moved on to develop a more specialized treatment approach through an internship with The Center for OCD and Anxiety in August 2020. From there, I transitioned into my roles as Associate Therapist, Intake Manager, and Caregiver Support Group Leader until February 2024. As I believe that effective therapy includes an appropriate balance of empathy, humor, active listening, and proper guidance rooted in evidence-based practices, I utilize an eclectic mix of therapeutic modalities (listed below) to tailor treatment according to the specific needs of each individual.
