Michelle is an amazing resource. She has helped me to better understand where I am in my personal journey, how my past is impacting my present, and how to alter my perceptions and my managing of circumstances to help me to be more happy and confident in my daily life.

It took a lot of effort to gain the courage to seek help. I was a little apprehensive starting this journey but I knew I needed a therapist who would be able to support me through a number of different and changing factors in my life.
Working with Michelle has been a complete blessing. She understood quickly how I process trauma. Always without judgement but with care and compassion. Michelle has helped me through an incredibly dark period of uncertainty and change. For this I’m eternally grateful. We’ve also started to work on my plans and goals for the future. Becoming more mindful and I’m happy to say I’ve felt less overwhelmed with my stressors/triggers and feel despite the pressure I’m able to process things in a more logical way. Michelle always gives me takeaways to think about in between sessions which has been really helpful grounding myself.
If you said I’d be the person I am now last year I’d never have believed it.
I know the benefit of BetterHelp is that you can change your therapist. But with Michelle you’ll never need to.

It has been over 3 months that I've been working with Michelle on myself and all I have to say is she has the patience to sit through and listen to anything you have going on. She has a way to pacify and recommend ways to cope with issues that have helped me tremendously. She also has a knack to simplify issues, which at first might seem big to someone who has anxiety, leaving me with a sense of calm post the session. Thanks Michelle! Look forward to future sessions with you.

I'm so glad that Michelle is my therapist. She's helped me so much and I really enjoy talking to her. I expected to feel exhausted after any therapy session, but I genuinely end a call with Michelle feeling really good. She's so excellent at framing things and she always knows what or who I'm talking about as if we spoke yesterday, despite obviously having many other people that she works with. Couldn't recommend her more highly.
