I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in Kentucky with over 9 years of experience working as an Addictions Therapist and Clinical Leader. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, various Substance Use Disorder, treatment resistance or low motivation for change, as well as many others. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is accepting and open. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while also challenging them to grow to meet their goals and expectations. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and person-centered treatment techniques. I have been Basic Certified in A-CRA, an evidence based approach to promote prosocial behaviors through community involvement and positive reinforcement specifically with adolescents. I will meet you where you are and build on your strengths, partner alongside and with you to meet your goals for treatment.
I was once told Progress not perfection, but I've learned that Progress IS Perfection. Help me, help you reach perfect progress!
I look forward to working with you!

I’ve been with her for more then a year now and she is amazing! I truly don’t think I would haven’t gotten where I am so quickly without her. She listens and gives me feedback when I need it. I personally really like doing the worksheets and the “homework” I’m given. It makes me feel like I’m working on something. I love working with her and can’t wait to continue my sessions with her.

I was a little nervous about finding a therapist through a website at first but Michelle is amazing! Not only does she make you feel heard but she gives you multiple strategies to help you grow. Michelle has made this experience worth the money. I couldn’t be more thankful that we matched!

I feel very lucky to have been paired up with Michelle. She is extremely organized and has developed a very thorough and thoughtful personalized plan from the start. I've tried therapy before but I feel like this time we are coming at it in a different way and I am excited to start making changes.

She has been very supportive so far, I just haven’t allowed myself to open up hardly at all. She has been very calm and understanding though and I feel that I will be able to make a lot of progress.
