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 love the counseling that I do. For the last fifteen years I have been a witness to the courage, tenacity, and resiliency of my clients as they strive to improve their personal lives and relationships in their families. I am convinced that much of our life is determined by the lens that we choose to look through.

I feel privileged to be able to accompany people on their journey in life. As a counselor, I provide a non-judgmental, non-biased, safe space for clients to explore what they want for their life and how they want to feel about themselves. My intention is for you to create your own goals in your life that reflect what you intentionally want. Those goals look different for every person. Some examples are: a new sense of self, gaining new perspectives, discovering strengths, and learning to communicate effectively.

I believe that everything we do in life comes from experiences that’ve shaped us.Depending on the intensity of the event & how our body perceives it, it’ll be logged into our nervous system as a safe or an unsafe experience.Our bodies at the basic level want to feel safe and will create behaviors (healthy/unhealthy) to protect us.For most, when we feel bad later about our behaviors, this means our body perceived the event as a threat.We’ll explore with a curious mindset why this is happening and boundaries that can be put in place.We will evaluate /decipher what coping skills/behaviors are harmful and re-program them in your body.
