Are you a healthcare worker who needs someone to hold space for YOU? The challenges that find you researching therapists are to be embraced. Those challenges are sending you a powerful message that something about your life or your relationships are no longer working. Change is already taking place within you, and HOPE is awakening.

You may be the person everyone depends on. The one who keeps functioning even under enormous pressure. But internally, you may feel emotionally exhausted, chronically overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or trapped in patterns that no longer feel sustainable. Many of the women I work with are navigating complicated family dynamics, emotionally immature relationships, burnout, motherhood transitions, workplace stress, or years of over-functioning in order to keep everything afloat. Together, we identify the patterns, pressures, and relational dynamics impacting your wellbeing so you can build a more aligned and sustainable life.

Are you a woman or couple struggling with sexual concerns or communication issues? Your friends and colleagues think you're the perfect couple. But inside you're filled with frustration and confusion. You'd think with the level of love and respect in your relationship that the sex part would work itself out, but not so much. What's happening between the sheets just isn't working, but you can't understand what's going wrong or how to begin fixing it. You need help, but you aren't sure if anyone would understand. Imagine finding a supportive space to explore your situation with someone who won't judge you. At all.

You find yourself googling "Is this normal after having a baby?”, “Why do I feel so anxious all the time?”. You're scared that you're not connecting to your baby in the ways you expected. You’re not alone.
Many mothers I work with feel constantly on edge, overstimulated, or emotionally exhausted. You might be crying more than you expected, snapping at your partner, feeling guilty for wanting a break, or wondering why you don’t feel the joy everyone promised. Sleep deprivation, hormonal shifts, and the pressure to do everything “right” can make even small decisions feel overwhelming.

My goal is to empower you to become the author of your own story. I specialize in helping busy professionals and executives navigate the invisible toll of leadership. Anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, perfectionism, and the pressure to always be “on” can quietly erode your sense of balance and connection. Therapy offers a place to set that weight down and rebuild your well-being from the inside out. Together, we’ll explore healthier boundaries, effective coping strategies, and tools to manage to help you reclaim your time, reduce overwhelm, and create a life aligned with your values.

I also work with individuals exploring gender identity and related concerns.

I consider myself privileged, if not honored, to walk through the life journeys of my clients. I work in a collaborative and facilitative manner with those struggling in relationships, or dealing with anxiety, depression, or work/family issues to name a few. Working with couples and post-menopausal women and their individual struggles in their transitions is also something I enjoy. I believe therapy should be client-centered, goal oriented and short term in nature.

Hi, I'm Michelle. I help adults who are seeking a compassionate, grounded space to reconnect with themselves and move toward the life they want. My practice is especially welcoming to queer, trans, and neurodivergent folks, as well as anyone who feels "out of place" in traditional therapy settings.

You’re capable, thoughtful, and often the one others rely on—but lately it feels harder to stay grounded. You may be managing anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional overload while continuing to show up for work, family, and relationships. Inside, you feel stretched thin, disconnected from yourself, or stuck in old patterns of overthinking and self-criticism. You want more calm, clarity, and confidence. You’re seeking therapy that feels attuned, practical, and meaningful—support that helps you understand yourself more deeply, regulate emotions, and create lasting change in how you relate to yourself and others.
