About me

As a licensed therapist in Nevada, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on creating affirming, compassionate spaces for clients exploring challenges related to identity, relationships, and personal growth. I bring extensive expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and LGBTQ+ experiences, with a deep commitment to understanding each person's unique journey.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, focusing on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, and work through issues like social anxiety, shame, and life transitions. I'm particularly passionate about supporting individuals dealing with workplace stress, relationship dynamics, and personal identity exploration.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I aim to empower clients to develop resilience, build meaningful connections, and cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves. Whether you're facing challenges related to sexuality, cultural identity, or personal growth, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with respect, understanding, and genuine care.

I really like how she has listened and recognized that I just needed to talk. I just needed to tell my story and find a way to release this pain/trauma so I can let it go and move on with my life. I feel comfortable with her and I don’t feel judged or criticized. It’s just been refreshing and enlightening. She is awesome!

Honestly, the best experience I’ve ever had with therapy. With Michelle, I always feel comfortable, supported, and truly heard. She creates such a calm, non-judgmental space where it feels safe to talk about anything without fear of being misunderstood or criticized.

Michelle has a natural ability to help you see things from new perspectives while remaining kind, patient, and grounded. She doesn’t just listen …. she helps you connect the dots and find real tools to grow and heal. I’ve noticed positive changes not only in how I handle stress and relationships, but also in how I view myself.

Every session feels meaningful, whether it’s a deep conversation or a small realization that sticks with me afterward. I always leave feeling lighter, more self-aware, and hopeful. I’m genuinely grateful to have found a therapist who brings such compassion, insight, and authenticity to her work.

Out of all the therapists I’ve had, she is by far the best! From my first chat until now, she has made me feel safe, comfortable, and knows how to motivate me with a plan. She replies back to my messages even if it’s just a picture of my projects. She’s very nice, kind, and straight forward when there’s something to fix. When I am not doing well, mentally, she is there first thing in the morning messaging me asking how I am doing and checks in through out the day. She is very good at what she does. I always recommend better help to people I come across, because of her.
