I work with adults, teens, transition age youth, and their families. I help them manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral concerns. This includes high achievers struggling with perfectionism/anxiety, depressed clients where brushing their teeth in the morning was a success, those going through or post a divorce, families who are struggling to get along or function, and anyone experiencing a change in life that causes stress. It is my aim to help clients understand both themselves and their relationships more fully.

Childhood trauma can cast a large shadow, affecting every aspect of your life and leaving you feeling stuck in patterns of fear and self-doubt. Social anxiety and low self-esteem can make it challenging to form meaningful connections, pursue your goals, and embrace your true self. But you don't have to let these challenges define your life. As a dedicated counselor specializing in treating these concerns, I provide a safe and nurturing space where you can embark on a journey of healing.

Have you ever struggled to talk about the tough shit? Do you want to understand how your past experiences created your current behaviors and emotions, and how to shift out of them? You can improve your life, and make lasting changes that begin at a place of awareness. I practice using a mixture of modalities including EMDR, CBT, DBT, MI, Attachment Theory, parts work, and expressive therapies​. We all have experienced big or small traumas in our lives that are influenced by our environments, family dynamics, cultural backgrounds, sexual orientation and life experiences.

We all want to feel seen and heard in our closest relationships but sometimes struggle to know how to foster that feeling. In my approach, I guide clients to use their emotions as a tool for understanding their needs and boundaries and I support them in sharing those with others. I work with individuals, couples, and families seeking support with disconnection, anxiety, substance use, affair recovery, depression, and self compassion. I specialize in working with pre-marital couples, new parents, and parent-child relationships.

We all experience difficult moments in life, no matter who we are or where we come from, and sometimes it’s simply too hard to do it alone. We need somebody we can talk to and most importantly somebody who will listen. Michele is a solid place to turn in these moments.

With guidance and structure, we each have the ability to transform unhealthy coping strategies into healthier ones.
