She brings nine years of clinical experience in community mental health, in-home therapy, and outpatient settings.
Background and approach
That background means she has worked with many concerns, including depression, trauma and abuse, eating issues, ADHD, substance use, and relationship struggles. She also helps people process family dynamics, work stress, and transitions that leave them stuck. Michelle uses an individualized, solution-focused style that centers on the person in front of her.
She combines client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and motivational interviewing to address day-to-day problems. The goal is to find clear, manageable steps clients can try between sessions. Clients can expect a straightforward approach that balances empathy with concrete strategies.
Michelle values the therapeutic relationship and aims to create sessions without shame or judgment. She supports people working through intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also addresses specific areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, chronic illness and pain, and body image.
Michelle encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed to reach out and start the conversation about what would help them move forward.
Approaches that work well online
Michelle uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's unique concerns and goals, offering a listening, nonjudgmental space to talk through problems. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it provides concrete exercises and short-term strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. The Gottman Method is applied for relationship work to improve communication and reduce conflict through structured skills and practice.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will discuss goals and preferences with each person and blend methods that fit those needs. She checks in on what’s working and adjusts plans together so clients feel involved in their progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and do longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick coaching, and support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days, deal with sudden stressors, or maintain continuity during life changes.
