Are you feeling trapped in a cycle of anxious thoughts that won’t quiet down, constantly worrying?
Or, lost in the wake of a major life change, unsure of who you are or what comes next...
Or, maybe a significant loss in your life has left you feeling like you’re underwater, struggling to catch your breath in a world that no longer makes sense.
The weight of sadness, exhaustion, or loneliness might feel unbearable, and even the smallest tasks seem overwhelming.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. I provide a safe space where you can release the pressure of ‘holding it all together’ and begin to process the emotions that feel too big to face. Together, we can work toward healing, helping you find clarity, meaning, and a way forward—one step at a time.
Taking the first step toward therapy is an act of courage and self-care.
I’m here to help you cultivate self-compassion, resilience, and a deeper connection with yourself. My passion is guiding individuals toward healing, growth, and a renewed sense of peace and purpose.
But the truth is—you already have the strength within you. My role is simply to help you uncover it. Let’s take this journey together.
My style....
Therapy with me is about facilitating a safe and supportive environment for personal growth and emotional healing. I love working with my clients on their journey toward authentic expression and discovering their true self. Therapy involves taking a deep dive into one's inner world and looking honestly at behavioral patterns and relationship styles. I have a laidback and personable approach to therapy and hold a non-judgmental presence for each client and their unique life experiences. My clients' mental well-being and therapeutic goals are my number one priority in therapy.

Welcome! I’m Michelle, a licensed Clinical Social Worker, passionate about helping individuals deepen their self-awareness and overcome life’s challenges.
With over 10 years of experience as a counselor in higher education, and two years providing hospice and medical social work services at the VA Medical Center, I bring a compassionate approach to support you through transitions, anxiety, grief, loss, burnout, stress management, self-confidence issues, and work-life balance.
In our virtual sessions together, I create a safe and supportive space, combining therapeutic approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (M-CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) with a strengths based, trauma informed framework.
Whether you’re seeking help for anxiety, stress, grief, or a major transition, I’ll meet you where you are in your unique journey, helping you grow to meet your unique goals.
Let’s work together toward lasting change and a deeper sense of balance and well-being.
