I believe that change and healing begin by providing a non-judgmental space that you feel seen and heard. My goal is to meet you where you are in your journey and create growth together. It can be intimidating to begin the change process, so I hope to provide a space or you to build safety and connection through it. It is truly an honor for you to allow me to be a part of your journey!

Hi, I'm Michele. I love what I do and truly believe that we all deserve to heal and live with joy. Many clients I see have been through a recent trauma or feel overwhelmed and anxious for a variety of reasons. They have struggled far too long & have even been discouraged by past therapeutic experiences. If you are struggling, you may feel stuck. It can be a lonely place to be. You don’t have to hold onto it all. Good therapy is relational, interactive and clinically sound. You might cry, but you will laugh find hope and heal.

My philosophy is we each have what we need inside us to heal, grow, and enact change, but sometimes we can struggle to tap into that. My goal is to support and assist you on your journey to achieving your goals and to being your best possible self. My second goal is to provide a comfortable and collaborative atmosphere where trust can be built for change to happen.

Utilizing multiple theoretical structures, as well as a holistic approach, my goal is to offer each individual validation as well as guidance toward a shift in either perspective or behavior. This process involves identifying perceptual, emotional, and spiritual barriers and nurturing inner resources. I see the counseling process as the exploration of both our past and current reality as well as what is needed to help us grow into a whole, healthy individual. I have extensive knowledge of family and relationship dynamics, treating adult survivors of abuse, depression and anxiety, the addictions field, and pain management.

MY PRIVATE PRACTICE IS CURRENTLY FULL. My specialty is coming alongside clients who experience overwhelming anxiety in everyday life situations and helping them learn new ways to approach and defuse the anxiety they experience. I also work with clients with OCD, PTSD, fear of flying, and other life challenges. I see adults and children (11 years and older preferred). When working with children and young adults, I generally use a systems-oriented approach, as I believe you cannot separate a child from the family and environment in which they function. Clients of all gender/ sexual orientation are welcome.

I enjoy working with adults, teens, people who have experienced trauma, LGBTQIA+ and gender-diverse people, artists, and those who seek a perspective of body-liberation. I believe that everyone deserves a safe and compassionate space to explore their unique experiences, stories, and challenges.
