Michelle was very thoughtful and well spoken. She was honest and straightforward with me when I needed it.

Michelle is amazing. The problem I have is when she is gone for a week or two because I do not want to meet with just another random therapist. Consistency is important.

Michelle is amazing, she has a way of making me feel completely safe, at ease and I am so much more willing to share, engage and get down to the work more efficiently. I feel so supported, encouraged, and hopeful. I like that she lets me be me and meets me where I am at throughout our sessions. I am so incredibly thankful for Michelle.
