Her experience in competitive sports informs a grounded, empowering style that emphasizes discipline, inner strength, and resilience when life feels heavy or uncertain.

Michelle understands how overwhelming it can be to carry emotional pain, navigate loss, or live with fear about what comes next, and she offers a compassionate, steady space for healing and self-discovery.
Her approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and practical. Drawing from Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices, she helps clients manage distress, build emotional regulation skills, and take realistic steps toward meaningful, values-driven change. Together, clients and therapist clarify what is already working, identify what is getting in the way, and create a plan that supports sustainable growth.
Michelle believes deeply in each person’s capacity for resilience, even in the face of adversity. For those ready to begin or continue the process of healing and personal clarity, she offers warm, compassionate support and a partnership focused on lasting progress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on skills like emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting people who want steadier emotions and clearer communication during difficult seasons. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify strengths and workable next steps, keeping sessions grounded in practical progress even when life feels overwhelming.
