Therapist

Ofrezco terapia en inglés y español (I offer therapy in English and Spanish). With more than two decades of experience, I specialize in professional counseling, care coaching, pastoral counseling, and spiritual guidance.

I enjoy assisting individuals from all walks of life to become a better version of themselves and experience a better quality of life. I strive to provide a safe and trusting environment for individuals to experience acceptance, understanding, compassion, empathy, and respect.

I love to walk alongside individuals by helping them become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and actions; take greater responsibility for themselves; resolve unfinished business prudently; establish clear direction to their lives; and experience freedom and healing.

I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s deepest challenges. My practice focuses on supporting clients through a wide range of personal struggles, including anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and self-esteem issues. I also specialize in trauma recovery, relationship guidance—including premarital and marital counseling—and spiritual mentorship.

Some experiences change the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.

Whether you're grieving a loss, recovering from trauma, navigating a mental health challenge, or trying to regain your footing after a difficult season of life, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by emotions that seem impossible to untangle on your own.

I'm Michelle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma, PTSD, and major life challenges. Through my experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as crisis intervention work, I've had the privilege of helping people navigate some of the most difficult moments of their lives. One thing I've learned is that healing rarely happens all at once—it happens one step, one conversation, and one breakthrough at a time.

My goal is to provide a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Hello and welcome,

I’m a dedicated therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I am truly passionate about the work I do and feel honored to walk alongside my clients as they navigate difficult moments and work toward healing and growth.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. I believe that meaningful change happens when we feel genuinely seen and empowered.

I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other modalities. This allows me to adapt our work together in a way that best supports your goals and experiences.

I have experience working with individuals facing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and marital concerns. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support and clarity, I am here to help you move forward at your own pace.

I look forward to the opportunity to work together.
