  • I met Michelle in 2019 and have seen her every week since then, sometimes an additional session within a week. We started seeing each other at the office and with quarantine, she didn't miss a beat and was there for me as we smoothly transitioned to virtual sessions. Michelle makes herself available and as our schedules changed, we always found a day and time slot. Michelle helps me set goals and encourages me to do well after sessions when I do what we talked about. Talking to myself: Take the action. Doing it feels better than not doing it. I would absolutely refer family/friends to Michelle.

  • I have been seeing Michelle regularly since 2010. The variety of issues and situations she has helped me with is countless. She is an incredibly dynamic therapist and always knows how to make each session valuable and powerful. I have referred many people her way over the years, and every single one also sings her praises. She is very knowledgeable in so many areas, and still has such a “human” approach to every conversation. I’ll continue seeing her until forever. At this point she has gone through so many parts of my life with me! So grateful to have found such an incredible practitioner.

  • Michelle helped me through a rough time when I needed some help. She helped me realize I had within me, the power to move forward and not let the past impact what I did in the future. I was skeptical about doing remote sessions at first but she made me feel so at ease. I would highly recommend her.
