Great to meet you!

Hi there, I go by Michele.

Life can be difficult at times. You might feel like it can never get better and like you have to get through it on your own. My job is to help you get through these difficult times and to give you the skills you need to feel empowered to get through any obstacle that comes your way.

I have years of experience helping people from all walks of life find their idea of happiness and making it a reality. I work hard at being flexible and providing you with the kind of help that you want and need.

Whether you're dealing with current or past issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

My approach to therapy

My biggest strengths are helping others over come traumas in there lives. Whether its a big traumatic event, abuse or something that you just can't seem to let go of. I also work well with anxiety, depression and anger. I help teach you the skills you need to reduce your symptoms, while getting to the root of the problem.

What you can expect from me

The first session will be a meet and greet assessment. I will go over what to expect with therapy moving forward. We will briefly go over what brings you to therapy, what is currently going on in your life, your strengths and a little about your past. We will go over what you want to accomplish with therapy and how you would feel comfortable accomplishing those goals.
