Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Michelle. If your child is struggling with a life transition, grief, anxiety, ADHD, or big emotions, or you're an adult feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or stress, I'm here to help. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with over 8 years of experience, including work as an elementary school counselor, where I found my passion for helping children and families navigate change together. I partner closely with parents and caregivers, offering practical strategies and a compassionate space so your whole family can thrive, while also supporting adult clients facing life's challenges.

My approach to therapy

My style is warm, accepting, and collaborative. I work from a client-centered approach using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), exploring the connections between your thoughts, emotions, and actions. Together we'll create a safe space where you gain insight, build practical tools, and work toward meaningful goals.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other. I want to understand what brings you or your child to therapy, what you've been experiencing, and what you're hoping to achieve. We'll also explore how therapy works so you feel informed and comfortable. Book with me through my calendar, I'm excited to meet you!
