Connect with Michele Johnson
My ideal client appears to function well outwardly but feels overwhelmed or emotionally drained within. They may be a teen, parent, caregiver, or adult navigating multiple responsibilities while carrying unprocessed stress or trauma. They may often struggle to make space for their own needs.
They may come from a culturally diverse background and value being seen and respected within their lived experiences, identities, and community contexts.
I am trained in trauma-informed care thoughtfully layered with cultural humility. My work emphasizes safety, empowerment, and understanding the impact of lived experiences on the mind and body. I am a trained yoga teacher with a special interest in somatic therapy, incorporating body-based movement and awareness to support healing and emotional regulation.
As a licensed social worker, I strive to meet clients where they are in their lives with a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach. I believe if I can be of service in any capacity that improves a client’s quality of life, then I have fulfilled my purpose. Growth looks different for each person, and no step forward is too small to be acknowledged or celebrated
