About me

Do you find yourself consumed by anxiety and worry, no matter what you do? Does your depression make you feel stuck, unfulfilled, and unhappy? Maybe you are tired of the overthinking or the plate being too full. Maybe you are fed up with being alone or unmotivated. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel calm, in control, and relaxed. You’re ready to feel happy, motivated, and at peace . Most of all, you’re ready to love yourself again and to find a new “normal,” and I can help you get there.

Clients come to me looking for someone who “gets” what happened to them on a deeper level, because therapy should be a place where you feel safe & validated. Sessions are about more than just talking; we incorporate both your mind & body, so you can experience wholeness again. And we always go at your pace, never pushing to places you don’t feel ready to be.

As an experienced anxiety and depression therapist, I believe that everyone has a right to feel in control, at peace, and happy. You don’t have to let the anxiety or depression control you anymore and you definitely don’t have to do it alone. I can’t wait to work with you.

I’ve been going through a very hard time recently, and having a constant line to such a kind and understanding person helps me though a lot go difficult times. Michelle is not just kind and understanding, but she is good at identifying and breaking down areas and patterns of pain. If your are going through a hard time or feel scared please know Michelle is a consistent and reliable source of strength and support. There’s no reason to let yourself suffer, please reach out, we’re all worth it.

Michelle was the first therapist I spoke with after much time of trying to seek help. She is a great listener, a good neutral voice, and overall assured me that everything I was feeling is valid. Super patient with rescheduling and going at my pace. She learned alongside of me during the 6 months we had together. Definitely recommend her especially if you’re younger!
