Great to meet you!

Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker in Oregon. I obtained my graduate degree in social work from Portland State University in 2007. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, substance use, grief and loss, chronic illness, interpersonal relationships and life transitions.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am interested in helping those that are struggling with situational stressors or long-standing concerns. I utilize a person-centered, collaborative, trauma-informed and holistic approach to therapy. I believe that everyone is unique and strive to work together to empower clients to navigate, process and utilize coping skills to allow for healing and growth to occur.

What you can expect from our first session

My experience over the years has allowed me to customize each session to meet individual client's needs. As a strengths-based, collaborative therapist, I will help you develop personalized goals to move forward in your life journey.

Michelle's style is
