More about Michelle

  • 24 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC, LPCC

I’m a therapist with over 20 years of experience and specialized training in grief therapy. I help people navigate all the messy, complicated emotions that come with grief—and let’s be honest, grief doesn’t just happen when we lose someone we love (including animals). It can also show up after a breakup, a job, a friendship, or even during major life transitions and crisis. Whatever your grief looks like, I’m here to support you as you figure out how to move forward.

On a personal note, I was born with a birth defect, spina bifida and use a wheelchair full-time, which gives me a unique perspective on navigating life as a person with a disability. I understand some of the complexities and curveballs that come with it, and I’m here to provide a compassionate, understanding space for anyone on a similar path.

My therapy style is laid-back and conversational. I use Person-Centered Therapy, which means I trust that you’re the expert in your own life, and I’m here to help you find your own answers. I also incorporate Brief Solution-Focused Therapy for when you’re looking for more immediate, practical tools.

A few fun facts about me: I work from home, so you might hear or see one of my four dogs in the background. I love animals (and talking about them), and over the past few years, I’ve worked with many people grieving the loss of their furry (or feathered) family members. I’m also a firm believer that therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable and understood—no judgment, no pressure, just support.

If you think I might be a good fit for you, I’d love to help you on your journey. And if for some reason I’m not the right therapist for you, I’ll do my best to help you find someone who is.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Michelle is just awesome. She's very down to earth, and a straight shooter in the best possible way. Extremely empathetic and gently made some incisive observations that stopped me in my tracks. She's also funny, and has a relaxed style that I appreciate. She is fantastic, 10/10.

From my initial interactions with Michelle I felt supported and seen. That was so important for me during a period of high stress. She accommodated my schedule, supported me in the areas I needed it, and is a great listener. Michelle gave me advice that I use daily and helps tremendously. What I enjoy most about Michelle is her genuineness, passion about her work, and her true caring. Thanks!

Michelle is great! She is a great listener, diving deep in to what may be the real reasons I am feeling a certain way. So far she has been successful in helping me acknowledge what I could not put in to my own thoughts and words.

Michelle is the real deal. She helped me through some milestones and growing pains and I couldn't recommend her more to anyone looking for an honest, experienced, and reliable therapist.

Reviewed February 2023

She's the best! I know that she'll never make me feel badly about anything I can't control and she always genuinely listens, even when I'm being silly. She's also figured out largely when I need someone to push me and when I want to leave a topic alone. She never judges me and I really appreciate her!

I had been struggling with anxiety for a few months leading up to BetterHelp and in only 4 weeks Michelle has been able to help me not only ease the anxiety I was experiencing but also understand and overcome it in ways I haven’t been able to before. Highly recommend her.

I love Michelle! She is very considerate and listens to my needs. Her talk therapy has been extremely helpful to me in dealing with my loss and grief and moving on to a new stage in my life. I was dealing with a number of issues that caused me quite a bit of depression and anxiety and Michelle has helped tremendously! Thank you, Michelle, for always being responsive to my needs, even in between sessions. Michelle is my preferred therapist and when I am in need again, as I know this will be an ongoing process for my mind, I will look for her first.

Michelle is great! I came to her with a very specific issue. She listened to me and gave me the support and guidance, in a very focused way, that I needed to overcome it. She is easy to talk with and has the ability to be personal and catering while maintaining a level of professionalism. She is incredibly responsive and took my scheduling needs into consideration.

Reviewed September 2021

I chose Michelle because on her profile it says she specialises with adults who have severe and persistent mental health problems. I have spoken to at least 20 therapists throughout my life and only 2 of them have actually been helpful, Michelle is one of them. She listens to me and is there for me when I message her with any negative thoughts I may be having. She really seems to understand me and does not make me feel like I am a lost cause, unlike most of the other therapists I've spoken to. I'm glad that I found Michelle.
