About
Hello! My name is Michelle and I commend you for seeking help for you or your loved one as counseling really can help. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been in the psychology field for over 25 years. I knew in high school that I wanted to empower others to create more peace and joy in their lives and I love to sharing tools that help my clients get the results they are seeking.
If you are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression or eating/body image issues, I would be happy to connect with you to see if you feel we would be a good fit.
I have always been solution focused in my work with clients as I believe there is always hope for change and my strength is to help you find and use your strengths and supports and try new coping skills and perspectives.
I have worked in many settings from adolescent residential homes, all units in psychiatric hospitals, college counseling center and private practice and have studied many modalities for treatment including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Energy Psychology, and more and I take a mindfulness based, eclectic approach as each client is unique. My approach to trauma is to use energy techniques more than talk therapy to help clients heal at the body and unconscious level as well as the conscious level.
After graduate school I created and directed an eating disorders program in a hospital before I transitioned to private practice before I had kids who are now teenagers! I have also had training in coaching and other modalities for mindset shifts and brain re-wiring.
My clients describe me as warm with a gentle and compassionate, respectful approach. I believe in my clients ability to change and I provide a safe space to share their concerns and their dreams.
My clients also include other healers, therapists, business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs who know that their inner issues can hold them back from the outward success they crave in their profession and with their clients.
I am here to support you if you’d like to take the first step and reach out to connect with me!
Warmly,
Michelle
