As a Therapist, Michelle brings a holistic approach to counseling for healing and working together to
reach optimal functioning in all areas for the client. Within the therapeutic relationship, work toward
healing may include the processing of emotions, reframing traumatic experiences, as well as opportunities
for growth through forgiveness and/or acceptance. Opportunity for personal development of the whole
person psychologically, emotionally, socially, spiritually, and physically may be incorporated into therapy,
based on the client needs and/or therapeutic goals. Specific modalities are based on what is in the best
interest of the client and may include evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,
Mindfulness, Skill Development, EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Lifespan Integration and Strength Based Therapy.
Michelle graduated from Letourneau University with a M.A. in Professional Counseling, and Marriage &
Family Counseling. She has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. Her therapeutic
approach is relationally focused.
