About Michelle
I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, postpartum concerns, and everyday stressors. My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, and tailored to the individual—creating a space where you can feel heard, gain clarity, develop practical tools, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change.
My approach
My approach is warm, collaborative, and person-centered. I primarily use CBT while integrating other evidence-based techniques to meet your individual needs. Together, we'll explore patterns, build practical coping skills, and use your strengths to create meaningful change. I strive to make therapy feel safe, authentic, supportive, and judgment-free.
About me
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping adults feel heard, understood, and empowered. I bring warmth, authenticity, compassion, and a culturally responsive perspective to therapy. I especially enjoy supporting women, working professionals, and individuals navigating life transitions, stress, and emotional challenges.
