Michelle’s career has allowed her to work in many settings with people from many walks of life, including community mental health, substance use and addiction counseling, a children’s hospital, and private practice. Michelle focuses her work with adults who are struggling with acute and childhood/developmental trauma, anxiety, and life transitions.

Michelle has a trauma-informed approach and is trained in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, and takes an eclectic approach for each individual client’s needs.
