Hello!
Congratulations on taking the first step to working toward resolution for challenges in your life. Reaching out for help can be difficult, and I can provide a safe space for you to discuss, explore and process your concerns.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor for the state of Illinois, and I have 10 years of experience as a therapist.

I believe building a trusting relationship with my clients through empathy and acceptance is key to assisting them with their concerns. I provide therapy based on my clients' needs to allow for self-exploration, offer useful tools to help work toward finding relief, and to create an optimum level of functioning.
I am passionate about helping others, and I look forward to speaking with you!

I’m only a few weeks in with Michelle and I see changes in my life already. Major changes. I was a person that swore I would never waste time or money on a therapist and in my 31 years it is the best decision I have ever made. I absolutely love Michelle - there’s not one negative thing I could say about her. She is very responsive. Very educated and very welcoming. I feel like I have known her my entire life. They say you will click with your therapist when it’s the right one and I am so so so thankful that Michelle got placed in my path because I could not ask for a more kind , caring and compassionate person to help me along my journey with my mental health.

Michelle is awesome. Seems like I’m talking to a concerned wise friend. She’s very thorough with processing my thoughts and actively listens. I’ve only worked with her a few weeks and she’s already made an impact on my life and my perspective.

Michelle is very responsive and checks in with me regularly, I like this because it reminds me to take a minute and evaluate where I'm at. It's so easy to get caught up with life's many demands.
