Are you or a family member struggling with stress, past trauma, doubt, grief or sadness?  Well, I feel your struggle.  I’m Michelle, and not only am I a licensed therapist, but I specialize in these struggles… because I’ve lived them.  My background has made me sensitive, empathic and genuine; with a recognition that ‘it’s our strengths that get us through tough times.’ Through my professional training and my own experiences, I have learned how to manage traumatic experiences, the stress of trials, and tribulations.  I am grateful that I have been able to help others, to navigate their unique difficulties and regain hope, and I want to help you.  I am committed to creating a warm inviting environment where you feel safe and empowered to take charge of your mental wellness.  I use an eclectic approach, including CBT, ACT and DBT with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and families cope with a variety of challenges.  Therapy should never be one-size-fits-all; that’s why I customize my approach to suit your personality and specific needs.  So, whether you’re dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, divorce, depression, trauma, grief, parenting or relationship issues, I want to use active listening, compassion, and skill to help you on your journey towards reaching your wellness goals.
