Better help was my first time trying over the phone therapy after it was suggested by a friend. Michelle has helped me immensely over the last 6 months. She’s helped me understand possible triggers, gave me better coping skills, and overall a new outlook on life. I am very thankful for Michelle, I look forward to our weekly appointments.

Michelle is an incredible listener and has been such an encouraging, thoughtful, therapist during the most challenging period of my life. She helped me face the unthinkable and walked me through every step. I will forever be grateful for her expertise and will always recommend her if you find yourself in need of a safe space and unwavering support.

Michelle has kept me sane throughout my separation with my husband. She is patient , non judgmental, and her approach has helped me open up to her with issues I could not talk about with other therapist. Thank you.
