You're not broken. You're just stuck. And stuck can be undone.

Let’s get to work!

Hello, 

I’m Michelle 

My approach is collaborative, direct, and grounded in real life. I specialize in integrative psychotherapy that blends trauma work, somatic practices, and relational depth—because one-size-fits-all therapy doesn't work.I bring years of experience across mind-body modalities, creative approaches, and my own personal work. This isn't textbook theory. This is practical therapy designed to create forward movement.

Maybe anxiety is running your life. Maybe trauma keeps showing up uninvited. Maybe ADHD makes everything ten times harder than it should be. Whatever brought you here, you're done with quick fixes that don't stick.

I help you figure out the patterns that no longer work for you.
You know your life better than anyone—I just help you see what's getting in the way.

I don't do generic therapy. I use mind-body approaches because surface-level solutions are a waste of your time.

You need someone who cuts through the noise and gives you the tools that actually work.

If you're ready to stop managing symptoms and start addressing the real problem, let's talk.
