Hi, I’m Michelle.
I’m Michelle, a holistic therapist specializing in supporting young adults, women, and highly sensitive people (HSPs) through life's challenges. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding the mind-body connection, drawing on the power of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Gestalt therapy, parts work, and somatic therapy, while integrating mindfulness and meditation practices. I'm passionate about helping people overcome self-doubt, anxiety, stress, and trauma, by building resilience and self-compassion. We’ll work together to identify and transform self-defeating narratives, fostering a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences.
My goal is to empower you with tools and strategies to confidently navigate life's challenges, cultivate inner peace, and embrace a more joyful existence.
I believe in the profound impact of self-compassion in fostering healing and personal growth. This journey is not about "fixing" you, but about unlocking your inherent potential.
My compassionate and heart-centered style creates a safe space for you to explore, heal, and grow. I am committed to empowering you to live a more fulfilling and authentic life.
I specialize in working with highly sensitive individuals because, as an HSP myself, I understand the unique needs and challenges they face. My approach is profoundly trauma-informed, acknowledging the impact of past experiences on present-day well-being.
We will gently and compassionately navigate these experiences, fostering deep healing and transformation. Through a combination of evidence-based therapies and mindful practices, we'll work together to help you develop the tools and resilience needed to thrive, both now and in the future.
How We Can Work Together
Individual Counseling
Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, burnout, ADHD, or the lingering effects of trauma? I understand the unique challenges young women face today. My individual counseling program empowers you to reclaim your well-being using a powerful blend of evidence-based modalities. I weave together somatic and mindfulness-based therapy, guided meditation, EMDR, restorative yoga, and the wisdom of Ayurveda to create a personalized path for healing and growth. I utilize techniques like parts work and Gestalt therapy to help you understand and address the root causes of your struggles, fostering self-awareness, resilience, and inner peace.
Relationship / Couples Counseling
Strong, healthy relationships are built on understanding, communication, and a deep connection. My couples counseling approach goes beyond simply addressing immediate issues; I work collaboratively with couples to build lasting, fulfilling partnerships. We utilize evidence-based practices, including the powerful principles of PACT (Prepare/Enrich, Appreciation, Commitment, and Trust) and insights from the Gottman Method to guide you toward greater intimacy and a deeper understanding of your individual needs and the needs of your partner. Therapy becomes effective as you apply new knowledge to break ineffective patterns and develop better ones.
