Great to meet you!

Hi there, and welcome. My name is Michele, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

I support folks through a variety of life challenges including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, terminal illness, grief, anger, chronic illness, and relationship stress.

I admire the strength we have within us, and I would be honored to sit with you in your journey. I am glad you're considering this next step of support for yourself.

My approach to therapy

I see us as a team working together to help you reach your goals in life. I often help clients with exploring symptoms that are bothering them and developing strategies to reduce or eliminate, learning and practicing new coping skills, offering psychoeducation on mental health topics, diagnoses, and more.

What you can expect from me

Together, we will discuss what brought you into therapy and begin to outline a plan to help address your challenges to achieve your goals.

Our time together is meant to reduce the distress you're experiencing and improve your day-to-day life. My services are offered virtually so that you can get the support you need right from home. I am eager to support your well-being, so please do not hesitate to contact me for a free 15 minute consult.
