Great to meet you!

My name is Michelle and I have over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I work with clients with a wide range of struggles including depression, anxiety, infertility, relationship or adjustment issues, grief and those who have experienced trauma. I also help many first responders who witnessed multiple traumatic events as part of their work and helped them to improve their ability to cope with such exposure and remaining memories.

My approach to therapy

Overall, I curtail my approach to the individual needs of my clients, utilizing a Solution Focused and Cognitive Behavioral approach as well as EMDR. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence based approach that uses bilateral stimulation to reprocess memories or issues causing distress, helping us to overcome them.

What you can expect from me

What I most enjoy is teaching people the tools they need to deal with their problems and find solutions. I would be honored to help you develop and reach your goals! I truly look forward to getting to know you and having the opportunity to work with you!
