Hi there, I'm Michelle!
I work with individuals, couples, and families, specializing in trauma and addictions. I believe in a balance of structure and fluidity within the therapeutic process. I am a systems therapist and use Compassionate Inquiry, Internal Family Systems, and the Gottman Method to inform my work.
My focus
I work with adults and families addressing depression, grief, anxiety, women's issues, and addiction. The presenting concern brings people to therapy but is only a learned coping tool. I work well with those willing to explore why their coping mechanism developed and who want to build confidence and self-esteem.
My approach
My approach is client-centered. I like to think of myself as a tour guide on your journey of healing and self-discovery. I pull from various modalities depending on your needs and style. I want to know who you are and what resonates with you. Through this process, we customize a treatment plan together.
