Michelle is calm and very professional. She has many personal and other experiences to draw from that helped me put things into perspective.

Reviewed May 2024

She is so sweet! She listens and remembers things I tell her even the small things and is always quick to give good advice back. Her support between sessions has also been extremely appreciated! Things like praying for me throughout the week, checking in from time to time, sending sermons related to things I’m going through or struggling with. She has just been a God send!

Let's work together to get you out of that rut and onto the path you were meant to walk! I've been there myself and now I want to help others find God's plan for your life--and you were not meant to be stuck, but to prosper and succeed. I've been a therapist, a group leader, and worked with a variety of ages and populations in the field for 14 years, using primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (put simply, your thoughts affect your behavior and emotions) and a client-centered approach. If you're ready to take that step, I'm here to walk alongside you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
