Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #132702

Hi there, I’m Michelle.

Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in?  Are worry and uncertainty keeping you from moving forward?  Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work, and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself?

I can help you manage anxiety, create healthy boundaries, and learn mindfulness. Together, we can identify what’s not working and get you back to balance. We’ll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive therapy to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself.

Whether you’re dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I’m here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but many feel the same as you do.  You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I’ll meet you with compassion, empathy, and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Some of my biggest strengths are empowering others, identifying one’s strengths, and helping to increase self-efficacy. 

After the initial meeting, you will be provided with psycho-education about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and what treatment looks like, i.e., the beginning, middle, and ending phases of treatment.  You will learn skills, tools, and strategies to use and increase personal growth and insight. As mentioned earlier my therapeutic approach is evidenced-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which encompasses the thoughts/feelings/behavior connection.  Adding another layer to this approach is mindfulness which encompasses the whole mind, body, and spirit experience. 

Let’s see what we discover!
