Gain  clarity, build  confidence, and  live the life you want.

Life is hard right now and you just want to be happy.

  • You want to stop feeling so anxious and operating from a place of fear.

Of course you do, because  you deserve it.

  • Using negative patterns to cope

  • Negatively impacted by external systems and beliefs

…to living empowered.

  • Confident in your individuality & values

  • Finding your purpose & building new skills

  • Gaining control & setting boundaries

Meet Michelle…

What’s happening to you now is not the definition of you but simply an evolution.

  • Schedule your free 15 minute consultation to learn about the therapy process, answer any questions and see if we’re a good match.

    If we’re not, I am committed to making sure you get referrals for someone who may be. I got you.

  • You’ll examine the narratives and behaviors preventing you from being your greatest self, identify your strengths and cultivate the insight you need to live your best and most authentic life.

  • Inclusive, empowering and flexible support to meet you where you are; giving you the in person connection you crave or the online flexibility you need to work around your busy schedule.

    A positive change in your life begins with taking the first step.
