I have been working in the helping field since 2003. I have experience with symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Grief and Loss, and Substance Use. I have worked in public and private schools, residential treatment facilities, outpatient care, and acute inpatient care. My theoretical approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on identifying negative thinking patterns, changing those thinking patterns, thus changing our interactions / reactions.

I feel so lucky to have been paired with Michelle, someone who listens earnestly and responds with care and empathy. I’ve learned a lot from our sessions, and I’m in awe of her wisdom where her responses and insights always deeply resonate with me. I’ve been able to gain clarity on matters in my life, recognize and begin to unlearn unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors, and overall take it day-by-day with her support. I’m completely comfortable expressing myself without feeling like I’d be judged or shamed, which is very important to me in these types of professional relationships. Also, she is quite understanding and flexible with scheduling, and really cares to work with you, not against you. She’s punctual and available to chat as well! All in all, I won the counseling lottery with her.
