About me
I am a Master's level psychotherapist, Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). In my 12 years of experience, I have worked with children, adolescents and adults challenged with a variety of mental health and life concerns including but not limited to depression, mood disorders, anxiety, substance use, addiction, trauma, grief and relationship conflicts.
Utilizing a cognitive behavioral therapy approach as well as other modalities that fit your treatment needs, I will work with you to develop a greater insight and effective strategies to manage the stressful and distressing situations in your life. I also strive to create an emotionally supportive, non-judgmental environment and provide clinical insight to guide you through this process.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

"Hi, Michelle,
I was hoping to talk about this after our next session but I accidentally got switched over pre-emptively. I was looking to shift to an in-person session style/video session, I do want to thank you for our time together and how much you've helped me. For a long time, I didn't have anyone looking out for me and talking to you made me feel less alone. I hope you have the most amazing life as you continue to do what can only be described as god's work. <3"

Michelle has been wonderful so far. It’s so great to have a quick response in those moments that I am feeling alone or I guess out of control. She is great about sending relatable worksheets to me and just in the short time that I’ve been working with her I’ve seen amazing growth in my attitude and outlook. I would absolutely recommend her and this app to anyone.

Michelle is greatafge hair having a few sessions with her she makes you feel completely comfortable. As well as before your sessions she will check in with you and give you some exercises today so that you can talk about them when the session is planned. I highly recommend her for anyone
