I am a therapist licensed in Michigan with over 3 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, ADHD, and addiction. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Michelle is kind and centered, giving me space to feel the hard stuff while encouraging me to show myself compassion. I wouldn’t have made it through the pandemic without her!

I have been working with Michelle for almost a year at time of writing and she's been absolutely fantastic from the first meeting. She really listens and knows just how to make me think with gentle questions, which I appreciate. I've come a really long way in my mental health journey thanks to Michelle and I can't recommend her enough. I was on the fence of whether or not therapy was for me before, but now I know it is for me and I found the best therapist for me.

She’s so empathetic and really listens to you. I like how she takes the time to make sure you’re getting what you need and it doesn’t feel forced. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who really cares about what they do. She does and it shows.

I absolutely love Michelle. She’s very kind and makes sure to check on me outside of our sessions because she genuinely cares. She ends our sessions with helping me make a plan for the week, allowing me to participate in my own progress with her amazing support. She has been incredibly patient with me when I’m having trouble expressing myself and she makes me feel safe and secure.

Michelle helped me a lot more than previous therapists, even though we didn’t have much time together. She made me feel heard and understood. I would definitely recommend if you’re unsure about therapy or not, she makes it stress and worry free and you’ll feel very safe through the process.

Michelle has been my rock through the largest changes in my life. She listens to my rants and gives me a different perspective on some of the problems that I have and how to approach them. She is always kind to me and never invalidates how I feel but always helps me feel better about myself and the life that I live. I would recommend Michelle and have recommended Michelle to many people in my life from friends to colleges. A+ to her and how she operates.

Having Michelle as my therapist has helped so much already, she’s good at checking in i love the worksheets she sends me. She has me lead the conversations on what i’m comfortable talking about and we handle them one by one.
Written on Dec 14, 2021 after therapy with Michelle for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, self esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes
I’ve been working with Michelle for two months now. At first I was very skeptical about looking for help for my personal issues. I never thought I would need therapy for daily problems I assume everyone goes through. Michelle helped me realize that it’s okay to not be okay sometimes and that my feelings are still valid even if they don’t make sense to me. Ive learned it’s okay to ask for help when you truly need it. She’s been reminding me to make time to care of myself, which I easily forget with how busy life gets. She’s very easy to open up to and makes you feel comfortable in a safe place where you get to work through your problems with someone who is actually listening and wants to solve the problem with you. She can help you realize that you are not alone in this world and that people care about you. Everyone needs help sometimes and that’s okay. Thank you Michelle for all of your support and advice.
