More about Michelle

- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing since 2018. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families who are dealing with addiction, substance use, trauma, co-dependency, and other issues. I specialize in helping people from a variety of backgrounds with learning how to live life with new perspectives, thoughts, and behaviors. I offer an unique perspective and techniques which include collaboration with my clients regarding treatment using a strengths-based, person-centered approach.
My counseling style is warm, relational, and interactive. I aim to be servant-hearted and treat every person with which I interact with respect, compassion, and kindness. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, trauma-focused, and rational-emotive counseling. I will customize our sessions and treatment plan to meet your specific needs.
I believe people can change and that you can live a fully healed and whole life. It is my passion to help you begin again . If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Michelle is awesome. She is helping me with very difficult issues..
Michelle has been terrific. She has provided me some good coping tools when my addiction wants to be fed and has been life-changing for me
Michelle has been the first therapist to ever really listen to me and not just blow me off. I found her by total accident and it was the best thing that has ever happened to me. I’m 6 months in and i feel completely different, like a new person. I’m so happy to have found her!
Michelle is amazing. She has helped me become a better version of myself, as well she encourages me to grow. Going through emotional trauma can be tough but when you have a therapist like Michelle you can work through it
She’s the best. Just do it.
Very flexible routine, and easy to use, you won't regret it.
Michelle is a lovely human being ❤️ I look forward to our weekly conversations! She makes me feel “normal” (if that’s even a thing). She inspires me to set realistic, attainable goals which have already had a huge impact on my life. So grateful for her
Thank you Michelle you are my life coach and are helping me so much.
My saving grace Michelle! Thank you! The best therapy experience I’ve ever had. Got the right support to work through things. I recommend her to anyone that needs to be heard and feel seen by the therapist or counselor they are working with. I need a connection and a personable experience. Try therapy as many times as you need to come out on the other end for yourself and no one else. You deserve to heal and to enjoy your life again.
The best therapist I’ve ever had. She listens she has good thoughtful questions she listens she has creative suggestions and helping me with coping skills she’s been there done that and that means a lot to me I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michelle to anyone whether you’re just starting therapy or whether you’ve been through thousands of hours like I have
Michelle is amazing. Really makes me feel like she cares about me and helping me resolve my issues. Couldn’t be happier.
