Great to meet you!

I have been a social worker for about 10 years, and became licensed in 2015. I attended Azusa Pacific University, and graduated in 2015. I have many years of experience working with adolescents, and adults on a myriad of issues. I work mainly with women(cis/trans) regarding any identity, relational, body image issues, in addition to treating anxiety/depression, and trauma. I also pride myself in doing work with my clients related to any cultural/ethnic issues, and any BIPOC related experiences.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Warm and accepting, while being direct and challenging.

What you can expect from our first session

I hope my clients take away feelings of support and encouragement, and the hope that they are on the path of achieving progress towards their goals and emotional well-being.

Michelle's style is

Humorous

Open-minded

Empowering
