Licensed in Florida and practicing for three years, she attends to the practical and emotional demands that arise during major life transitions and ongoing struggles. Her history in competitive sport informs a focus on inner strength and structured, goal-oriented support.
She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, and self-esteem struggles. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth, self-love, sexuality, social anxiety, and women’s issues.

Online sessions and clinical focus
Michelle offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She approaches online work with the same collaborative, structured orientation she applies in person, helping clients set clear, achievable goals and practice skills between meetings. Communication options are intended to accommodate different needs and preferences for how conversations unfold.
Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, and solution-focused techniques complemented by mindfulness practices. Cognitive behavioral methods are used to identify and work with unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop concrete coping skills. Dialectical behavior strategies emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Solution-focused steps help clarify priorities and create small, realistic changes that build momentum.
Clients who prefer a practical, skill-oriented collaboration that combines short-term problem solving with attention to emotional regulation may find this approach a good fit. Sessions may include discussion, skill teaching, and agreed-upon practice between meetings conducted via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
