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 love her advise and how amazing she is, I have improved so much since I started working on myself with her.💜

Written on Mar 23, 2026 after therapy with Michelle for 4 years and 5 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, family conflicts, sleeping disorders, self esteem, anger management, and career difficulties

Michelle was wonderful, she always had new ways or ideas to help me overcome the difficulties in my life. She listened and remembered things from beyond the previous session. Michelle made sure to cover a bigger picture but to also remember the small details that make up the big picture.

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!
