About
Michelle is a Licensed Associate Counselor with previous experience working as a School Counselor in both middle and high school settings. In addition, she has taught undergraduate psychology classes at various higher education institutions which has enabled her to share her love for teaching, counseling, and professional experiences with others. Michelle’s background has given her great insight into the complex, day-to-day lives and challenges of today's children, adolescents, and young adults - both in and out of the classroom.
While balancing and prioritizing all aspects of one’s wellness is not always easy, it is certainly possible. Guiding clients towards these goals has become a focus of Michelle’s counseling work as she has seen just how impactful the results can be. Our past experiences do not define who we are as individuals nor do they have to predict our futures.
Using a range of techniques such as mindfulness or restructuring negative thoughts, Michelle works with clients to better understand their current presenting concerns and help them learn how to live more healthy and productive lives.
