About Michelle

Michelle works with adults facing relationship strain, career shifts, parenting challenges, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating LGBT issues and mood difficulties.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Michelle encourages open talk without judgment and helps people experiment with new ways of thinking and acting. Progress is often measured by small, meaningful changes in daily life.
Her work includes support for fertility and pregnancy-related concerns, postpartum mood changes, workplace stress, social anxiety, and relationship communication problems. She aims to help clients build confidence, strengthen coping skills, and move toward clearer next steps.
How Michelle’s approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s perspective and personal goals. It means the therapist listens closely, follows the client’s lead, and focuses sessions on what the person finds most important. This approach can help people who want a supportive space to make sense of life changes and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build new coping skills. CBT can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing everyday stressors.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She can combine client-centered listening with CBT techniques so therapy matches how the person prefers to work.
