Hi there, I'm Michelle!

I create a safe, intentional space for adults to process, heal, and grow. I work with adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain. Together, we'll take the time to understand what's going on beneath the surface and create a path forward that feels doable and meaningful.

My focus

I work with adults facing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. My ideal clients seek a space to reflect, heal, and grow. I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship and creating realistic, meaningful goals together. Treatment with me is intentional—I help clients feel supported, understood, and empowered.

My approach

I support adults navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and life transitions in a safe, compassionate space. My approach is strength-based—we identify what's working and build on those strengths. I integrate CBT to shift unhelpful thought patterns, mindfulness for emotional awareness, and DBT for practical coping skills.
