Meet Michelle

I am a client-centered, solution focused therapist who subscribes to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I use these treatment modalities/ideologies as a means to assisting my clients to explore where they are currently, where they would like to be, and take the necessary steps to get there. This allows my clients to witness their own growth and take ownership in their journey toward the best version of themselves. Authenticity and honesty are critical to the healing journey. I look forward to working with you and for you!

My approach allows clients to witness their own growth and take ownership in their journey toward the best version of themselves.
