More about Michelle
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC, LCPC, LPC
I have an extensive background with law enforcement, correctional officers as well as inmates. In addition, I also served in the US ARMY so have insight into issues that Veterans have faced then and now. I have worked with individuals that experience depression, anxiety, insomnia, Bipolar, parenting issues, suicidal thoughts, and chaos in their lives. Let me assist you in the ability to move forward with your life.
I specialize in geriatric counseling as well as Relationship & parenting therapy. I have worked extensively with psychiatrists and at times know that a client needs medication management as well as therapy. I use an eclectic type of therapy as each individual is different in how they handle life events as well as possible mental health issues in their lives.
Life is full of tough choices, discussing life issues with your therapist doesn't have to be.

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.

Understanding and makes me feel heard. Thank you!
Michelle is warm, professional, and very understanding and insightful. She provides a good amount of support and a safe feeling so you can talk with her, and she also provides solid steps you can take to address your feelings and issues. I would highly recommend her.
Michelle is very helpful and listens and challenges me to get out of my comfort zone and take action.
She is great and reaches out and listens to me and gives me good advice and it's nice to have another perspective on my life
She is kind but casual, serious but also able to laugh with you. Qualities I find very essential to a good therapist
