Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm Michelle, an experienced Licensed therapist in Minnesota who works remotely with people worldwide. I empower adults to learn new tools that shift spiraling thoughts, overwhelming emotions, stress & exhaustion, past trauma, and grief & loss. New awareness and tools offer choice in navigating major life transitions, including breakups & divorce, career & leadership, personal development, and daily life experiences. I support individuals seeking a deeper connection to themselves and others. My approach is tailored to your aspirations and to reclaim wellbeing, presence, and balance in life and leadership.


I specialize in emotional regulation, mental recovery, and navigating significant life shifts. I offer personalized trauma-informed therapy that integrates mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and emotional processing. My clients gain tools to manage themselves, rebuild self-confidence, and create healthier patterns, empowering them to thrive.


I understand how it feels to be overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure of the next step. You're not alone in this journey. I'm here to listen, support, and guide you toward clarity. I honor your path and lifestyle choices. My schedule is flexible. The change you seek is waiting for you to engage with it, and I can show you how. Email me and begin today.

My approach to therapy

I offer remote therapy and co-creative leadership sessions that expand awareness, deepen presence, and consciously shift your choices. I can help you with emotional regulation, mental clarity, getting unstuck, finding your spark, major life changes, relationship strain, identity questions, high stress impacting sleep, focus and daily life, over-functioning, and rediscovering balance. New tools shift awareness on day one- and grow.


I specialize in supporting individuals and leaders with new transformative tools designed to expand awareness, deepen presence, and change the way we observe and respond to the world around us. Through greater awareness and self-management, the practices cultivate embodied leadership and living, opening doors to consciously shift the direction you choose to move in. Let's co-create your shift.
