More about Michele
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, major life transitions, relationship difficulties, burnout, caregiver stress, low self-esteem, and trauma-related concerns. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns of overthinking, or unsure how to move forward after a difficult season of life.
My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and other evidence-informed strategies to help clients better understand their thoughts and emotions, develop healthier coping skills, and make meaningful changes in their daily lives.
I also enjoy working with couples who are struggling with communication, recurring conflict, emotional distance, or feeling disconnected from one another. I have completed Gottman Method Level 2 training and use Gottman-informed strategies to help couples strengthen communication and rebuild connection without focusing on blame or taking sides.
I have a particular interest in grief, trauma, and PTSD and am continuing advanced training in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based treatment commonly used for PTSD.
My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, gain clarity, and develop practical tools for moving forward. Whether you are coping with anxiety or depression, grieving a loss, adjusting to a major life change, or trying to improve an important relationship, we can work together toward changes that feel realistic and meaningful.

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.
