Hi there, I'm Michelle!

I work to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel comfortable exploring whatever they're going through. I value meeting people where they are and helping them move toward meaningful change at their own pace. I specialize in anxiety and depression, and I'm passionate about helping folks feel more grounded, connected, and empowered.

My focus

I work primarily with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and grief, as well as those navigating the unique challenges of young adulthood—especially around identity, life transitions, and finding a sense of direction. I also support those who are interested in a more solution-focused approach to therapy.

My approach

I create a space where people feel safe, supported, and like they don't have it all figured out. Everyone shows up with their own story and pace, so I stay flexible and responsive to what each person needs. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people understand how their thoughts and behaviors connect.
