I am a licensed Clinical professional Counselor in Nevada with over 9 years of experience working as a Therapist, crisis response and group therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I have taken several trainings in trauma of all ages. My primary focus is children, I have worked with kids in the system, and worked with kids going in the system. My undergrad is in criminal justice which has helped me understand and educate parents that are dealing with child protective services to ensure positive interactions. I work with ages 3 up to 80 +. I have also worked with clients in the various communities such as Kink community and LGBTQ community, and the homeless.
My therapy style is warm and interactive, and empathetic. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I also remain transparent and encourage this in my clients when working on treatment. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage and the want to make a change in your life to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I am only a few sessions in with my therapist Michelle, I must say that from day one her energy was positive, she is very attentive to my needs and thoughts. She pays attention to all of my needs even when I am all over the place. Her light shines through our sessions and she has made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. She has provided me with assignments that have been helpful in my journey. I honestly look forward to our sessions! Thank you Michelle for your support!

Like a welcome reprieve where there is no where else in my life to express such thoughts other than journaling, like a helpful mechanic, Michelle holds a valuable flashlight to the dark unknown of myself to reflect whatever it is I’m working on so that I don’t have to hold the flashlight and tinker with the automobile of my mind at the same time. Thank you!

Michelle helped me through one of the hardest times of my life following an 8-year breakup. Time and time again she was available, consistent, and guided me when my perceptions of myself was ruling over who I was and how I went through the world. She questioned the way I looked at things in a compassionate lense that also made me feel like she was always on my side. I would recommend her to anyone that suffers from anxiety, problems with self perception, and relationships.
