down-to-earth therapists found here
Hello, I'm Michelle
I became a therapist because I am passionate about the process of healing and truly enjoy helping people reach a place of acceptance and peace. I believe that the therapeutic relationship between a client and therapist is sacred. That is why I commit to being present through your process of healing, without judgement. Come as you are, whatever that may mean to you, and I will meet you there.

My approach
It is my goal to walk alongside you as you navigate the current challenges in your life and to be a support as you process your past.
