Hi, I’m Michelle. I help adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by PTSD/trauma, stress, or big life changes. You might tell others, "I'm fine", and look like it from the outside. But inside, you feel anxious, nervous, unhappy, worried, struggling with sleep, or just feel like joy is hard to achieve. My style is warm, steady, and down‑to‑earth. And if you like straight forward and sometimes humorous, we might be a good fit!
I have almost 30 years of experience and work with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and the “I’ve‑been-carrying-this-for-years” kind of heaviness. I also have deep experience supporting veterans, service members, first responders, and folks with complex trauma. Everyone is welcome here — my practice is inclusive and affirming.
I use CBT & evidence backed therapies that are effective and time limited. My goal is to help you make sense of what’s happened and improve your quality of life. I can see people weekly or an intensive approach, too. If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again, I’m here to help you get there. Feeling better is possible.
