Hi there, I'm Michele!

I meet clients where they are and help them understand their life challenges while working to reduce or resolve internal and external obstacles. I'm committed to supporting your growth and healing.

My focus

As an eclectic provider, I understand human behavior and the experiences of individuals, groups, and families within their social environments. I believe that all clients can heal and thrive, regardless of their past challenges, with the right support and interventions.

My approach

My therapeutic approach involves meeting the person where they are. I am committed to helping clients understand their life challenges and assisting them in reducing or resolving internal or external challenges.

My communication style

I provide comprehensive services throughout the treatment process, customized to address the mind, body, and spirit. My integrated treatment approach considers the client's biological, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and social needs.

My journey to mental healthcare

From a young age, I knew that I wanted to be a helper. I explored various fields in human services and found my passion in supporting individuals, families, and groups dealing with emotional and mental health challenges.

My goals for you

I believe the cornerstone of the treatment process involves active client participation in developing treatment goals and manageable objectives to meet those goals.

Our first session

You should expect to work with a practitioner who understands your needs as you share and define them. I can assess your challenges and work towards offering best-practice strategies and interventions. Specifically, you should expect the beginning of a therapeutic alliance.
