Michelle is so understanding and open. It’s been hard for me to find someone to actually trust enough to be vulnerable with but I’m so happy i found her!

I am an extremely introverted person. Opening up is hard, but not with Michelle, make of that what you will, but this is better.

Michelle is absolutely everything I could have wanted in a therapist and more. She is so kind and so fantastic at her job. I felt incredibly supported right away and felt she went above and beyond to help me in all aspects that I was struggling in. I highly recommend her !
