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, fear, 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 who believes therapy is a place to slow down, get curious about what’s happening beneath the surface, and find a way forward that feels more like you.
I’ve spent more than 10 years counseling adults in higher education, along with two years providing hospice and medical social work services at the VA Medical Center. For the past two years, I’ve been in private practice, supporting adults navigating anxiety, overthinking, self-doubt, stress, life transitions, grief, and the many ways life can leave us feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
I especially enjoy working with people who are tired of being in their heads—those who worry, second-guess themselves, feel like they’re never doing enough, or have difficulty slowing down and making space for their own needs.
In therapy, I create a warm, collaborative space where you don't have to have all the answers. My approach draws primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with an attachment-informed, strengths-based, and trauma-informed perspective. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, nervous-system-informed and somatic approaches when helpful. I have completed Phase 1 Brainspotting training and may incorporate Brainspotting when it fits your goals and needs
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, self-criticism, relationships, stress, grief, or a major life transition, we'll work together to understand what's happening, build new ways of responding, and move toward what matters most to you.
You don't have to figure it all out alone.
