Great to meet you!

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia since 2015. I received my MSW at the Catholic University of America. I have worked in various settings, including addiction treatment, child welfare, military, and medical/hospital. I hold a certification as a Grief Informed Professional, and am working on becoming a STAR Behavioral Health Provider.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I primarily utilize a solutions focused approach along with Cognitive-Based Therapy.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients will obtain a deeper understanding of how their thought patterns impact their current functioning, and will be empowered to create changes by building motivation.


Michelle's style is

Empowering
Solution-oriented
