About Michelle

Maybe you're tired of feeling anxious or you're struggling in your relationships? Going through a major life transition like a move or a new job? Or seeking couples counseling to support you and your partner? It can be hard to go through difficult things alone, and I would love to help you find greater happiness, success, and fulfillment while navigating the ups and downs of life.

My approach

I offer direct feedback when it is appropriate and I provide emotional support, understanding, and validation when you need it. I use an eclectic approach, which means I use different therapeutic modalities based on what we think will benefit you in any particular moment. This typically includes EMDR, IFS, CBT, DBT, and/or Gottman Method.

About me

I'm the kind of therapist that listens well but also shares observations and suggestions to help you create real change in your life. Sometimes that means change in your external environment, and sometimes it means change in your internal thoughts and feelings. Either way, it is important to me that therapy benefits you and helps you grow.
