Therapy changes when the question shifts from What is wrong with me? to What is shaping me?

Let’s get to work!

Hello, 

I’m a licensed professional counselor and supervisor (LPC-S), trained in EMDR and author of Menopause Is Not a Mood. My approach is collaborative and direct. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy that incorporates somatic practice and relational depth. Much of my work is with women in midlife, when physiological change can shape how distress is experienced and what begins to feel harder to manage. I’m interested in the ways people adapt and how those adaptations can begin to feel constricting over time.

I’m Michelle

Therapy with me is relational, direct, and centered on what is actually happening in your life. We pay attention to the patterns that keep repeating, the ways you have learned to manage them, and what is no longer working as well as it once did.

You know your life better than anyone. My role is to help you see what may be difficult to see from inside it, understand what is driving the distress, and decide what needs to change.

A Place to Begin

I'd love to hear from you. Whether you're ready to begin therapy or have a few questions first, reaching out gives you a sense of what working together could look like.

I offer free 15-minute phone consultations so we can talk about what brings you in and whether my approach is a good fit. There's no pressure to schedule. Use the time to ask your questions and see what feels right.
