Hi, I’m Michelle

I’m here to help you get unstuck!

My Approach:

My style is open, non-judgmental, and growth-oriented

Experienced in using Transformative Approaches:

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) - Level 2 Training

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

  • Somatic Awareness and Polyvagal Concepts

My Therapeutic Style:

  • I create a supportive space where you feel heard and understood.

  • I approach our work with curiosity, collaborating with you to uncover and address negative beliefs, themes, or patterns that may be holding you back.

  • I will help you discover your strengths

  • Mindfulness is a core tool in my practice that is so helpful in staying calm in the present while exploring your past.

Healing Emotional Wounds and Rebuilding Self-Trust

I help high-achieving adults who feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them—whether in relationships with family, peers, or partners. When your usual coping strategies begin to fall short, it can lead to self-doubt, burnout, and feeling disconnected from yourself. I help my clients navigate these challenges and find a path back to self-trust, clarity, and emotional resilience.

If you're looking to heal from childhood trauma and its impact on your relationships and sense of self, you’re not alone. Together, we can gently explore what’s beneath the surface—uncovering the you that’s been hidden by old survival patterns. I would be honored to support you on this transformative journey toward the life you’ve been yearning for.

As a trauma-informed therapist trained in EMDR and Level 2 Internal Family Systems (IFS), I offer an integrated approach to healing. These powerful, evidence-based therapies help resolve emotional wounds and the beliefs they leave behind—so you can move beyond self-sabotage and toward inner peace, stronger relationships, and lasting change.

Let’s work together to move past your past. With EMDR and IFS, you can experience deeper healing than traditional talk therapy often provides—and begin building the meaningful life you deserve!

 It’s Time to Thrive

  • Break Familiar Patterns: Address overthinking and self-doubt in relationships 

  • Find Connection and Joy: Move past overwhelm and discover the missing connection or joy in your life.

  • Collaborative Focus: Identify your needs and goals, and work together towards achieving them using proven modalties, including EMDR and IFS.

  • Trauma-Informed Approach: Explore how your past experiences shape your current self, reactions, and tendencies, whether or not you've experienced trauma.

  • Holistic Understanding: Tune into signals from your body, thoughts, behaviors, and emotions to gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
