Hello! I’m Michelle, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA) who brings a lot of real-life experience into the therapy space and I aim to create an environment where you can show up exactly as you are. I have learned that life continues to throw curve balls and sometimes we find ourselves in a place we don't recognize anymore. This can be messy and scary-but you don't have to figure it out alone. That's where I come in.
Authenticity is really important to me, both in how I show up as a therapist and in how I support my clients. I believe that real connection and meaningful change happen when we can be honest, genuine, and fully ourselves in the room. I am committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space for people of all identities and backgrounds.
I’m passionate about trauma-informed care, supporting the LGBTQ+ community and navigating life’s many transitions. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship changes, co-parenting challenges and emotional trauma.
Outside of therapy, I’m a mom of three (two almost high schoolers and a toddler) so I understand a thing or two about chaos. I also have two cats and run on a steady supply of coffee.
My goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and not alone. I want to help you build insight, feel empowered to make changes, and move toward a sense of peace in your life—whatever that looks like for you.

What I Offer
How I Work
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and person-centered. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) to meet you where you are and support your goals.
When life calls for seriousness, I absolutely show up for that, but I also believe humor can be a powerful part of healing. Sometimes laughing at the chaos of life is what helps us move through it. I’m here for all of it—the hard conversations, the tears, the laughter, and yes, even the cursing (I have a bit of a mouth sometimes, and that’s okay here).
Who I Work With
I work with adults who are tired of pretending everything’s fine when it isn’t — people unpacking religious trauma, childhood wounds, ADHD struggles, or that deep sense of “I should be further along by now.”
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, burnt out from being “the strong one,” or frustrated that your brain doesn’t seem to work like everyone else’s — you’re in the right place.
What It's Like To Work Together
Therapy with me is collaborative, casual, and deeply human. I’ll hold space for your story, but I’ll also help you look at it with new eyes. We’ll explore how old patterns show up in your present life and experiment with new ways of being — not overnight fixes, but slow, steady healing that actually sticks.
You can expect equal parts depth and humor, reflection and realness. We’ll laugh sometimes, cry sometimes, and slowly build a relationship that helps you feel safe enough to change.
