About This Provider:

Michelle is dedicated to providing a trauma-informed, deeply supportive environment for individuals facing challenges such as burnout, anxiety, the psychological impact of discrimination, or any of the other concerns listed above. Michelle provides a compassionate, inclusive, and collaborative space designed to balance intentional, deep therapeutic work with moments of ease, humor, and lightheartedness. Michelle views therapy as a collaborative partnership, ensuring that individuals feel deeply understood, safe, and empowered as they work to cultivate self-awareness, process painful experiences, and establish a renewed sense of emotional clarity. Michelle uses an integrative, collaborative approach to therapy that rejects a one-size-fits all model, instead shaping care around who the individual is, what they value, and what truly works for them, to holistically support her clients. She partners with individuals every step of the way to support healing, growth, and meaningful connections. Michelle has a special interest in working with BIPOC, underserved, underrepresented populations, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent individuals.
Michelle will be starting out part time in November. Michelle has a Master’s Degree, and is working under the supervision of Natalie Marr, PsyD, LP while ultimately working toward independent clinical licensure (LPCC).

Michelle has spent the past five years in the mental health field, including three years of dedication to a community mental health clinic in an outpatient therapy setting supporting people across all ages, backgrounds, and identities.

Across all settings, Michelle operates with the firm belief that there is no single path to healing, rather an intentional, individualized path that fits the person she is honoring to walk alongside.
