Clinical Approach

Since 2006, Michelle has dedicated her career to supporting children, teens, and families through life’s challenges, transitions, and growing pains. She has worked as a therapist, adoption worker, and social worker in child welfare, private adoption, residential programs, and state settings—experiences that shaped the deep compassion and steady presence she brings to her work today.

Michelle’s approach is calm, caring, and grounding. She creates a space where children and adolescents feel safe being themselves and where families can share their stories without fear of judgment. Michelle has extensive experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, behavior concerns, parenting stress, relationship conflict, trauma, and major life transitions. She is especially passionate about helping children and teens build resilience and express themselves through play therapy, a developmentally appropriate and highly effective approach for younger clients.

Michelle tailors her work to the unique needs of each child and family, focusing on emotional expression, coping skills, communication, and building healthier patterns at home and school. Her gentle curiosity and steady support help clients feel understood and empowered throughout the therapeutic process.

Outside of work, Michelle loves hiking with her family, painting with oils, and spending time with her miniature schnauzer. She recently started knitting—slowly but enthusiastically learning new stitches one project at a time.

Clinical Approach

Feeling anxious, stuck, or overwhelmed? I help kids (8+), teens, and adults—especially LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent folks—build skills that actually work in real life. We’ll set clear goals, reduce anxiety, improve emotion regulation, strengthen relationships, and grow your confidence. My style is warm, straightforward, and collaborative. You’ll get a safe, affirming space—and I’ll also challenge you (kindly) so therapy leads to change. I draw from DBT (practical skills for emotion regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance), CBT (reframing anxious thoughts), and a person-centered approach grounded in your strengths and values.

A bit about me: I’m outdoorsy, game-friendly (yes, D&D counts as storytelling and social skills practice), and I've recently started my journey transitioning male to female.

If you’re navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, school stress, burnout, ADHD/autism-related challenges, or tough relationship dynamics, we’ll build a plan that fits your life—so you leave each session with tools you can u
