Michelle approaches the therapeutic process from an integrative medicine lens, exploring concerns of mind and body to achieve optimal wellness. She works with people experiencing anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, and chronic illness. She uses evidence-based treatments, including humanistic-existential therapy, behavioral therapy, and somatic therapy, to get to the root cause of mental distress and connect clients to their innate capacity for personal growth. She is also skilled at empathetically supporting couples as they navigate conflict, communication, and intimacy.

Michelle fosters a safe and accepting space for clients to address their concerns, issues, and barriers. She lovingly empowers individuals to take control of their life and achieve their goals. Her process aims to unearth potential through an exploration of values, character strengths, and life purpose, and eventually take meaningful steps forward.

Life can get overwhelming at times and talking to someone can make a huge difference. Michelle will meet you where you are, take time to learn about you, and personalize your therapy experience so it best supports your needs.
