Areas of Focus
Counseling for adults
Michelle provides counseling for adults experiencing:
Anxiety
Persistent worry, racing thoughts, panic, and the physical tension that comes with them.
Depression
Low mood, loss of motivation, and the heaviness that makes ordinary days feel out of reach.
Trauma
Processing past experiences at a pace that feels safe, so they hold less power over the present.
ADHD
Focus, follow-through, and organization support for adults, from a certified ADHD provider.
Substance Use & Recovery
Support at any stage, from first questions about drinking or using to long-term recovery.
Grief & Loss
Room to grieve a person, a relationship, a role, or a future that did not happen.
Life Transitions
Career changes, relocation, divorce, retirement, and the identity shifts that follow.
Stress Management
Practical tools for burnout, overwhelm, and the pressure of carrying too much at once.
Personal Growth
Building self-understanding, healthier boundaries, and greater confidence over time.
A Personalized Approach
Healing isn’t about becoming someone different
It’s about finding healthier ways to move through life’s challenges while discovering greater peace, resilience, and confidence.
Michelle works collaboratively with each client to develop practical tools and personalized strategies that support lasting emotional wellness.
The Space
A quiet, private place to talk
Sessions happen in a small, comfortable office rather than a clinical exam room — soft light, a comfortable chair, and a door that closes.
If it feels daunting to walk into a therapist’s office for the first time, that’s normal. Knowing what the room looks like before you arrive is one less unknown.
