More about Michele
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, major life transitions, relationship difficulties, burnout, caregiver stress, low self-esteem, and trauma-related concerns. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns of overthinking, or unsure how to move forward after a difficult season of life.
My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and other evidence-informed strategies to help clients better understand their thoughts and emotions, develop healthier coping skills, and make meaningful changes in their daily lives.
I also enjoy working with couples who are struggling with communication, recurring conflict, emotional distance, or feeling disconnected from one another. I have completed Gottman Method Level 2 training and use Gottman-informed strategies to help couples strengthen communication and rebuild connection without focusing on blame or taking sides.
I have a particular interest in grief, trauma, and PTSD and am continuing advanced training in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based treatment commonly used for PTSD.
My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, gain clarity, and develop practical tools for moving forward. Whether you are coping with anxiety or depression, grieving a loss, adjusting to a major life change, or trying to improve an important relationship, we can work together toward changes that feel realistic and meaningful.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
