About Michelle

She supports people coping with trauma, grief, anger, ADHD, and changes at work or in life. Michelle practices with warmth and patience, inviting honest conversation and practical steps forward.

Background and approach

Michelle encourages small changes that build confidence over time. Michelle holds a Colorado license as an LPC and brings 15 years of experience. During her career she has provided both individual and group therapy.

That background helps her match interventions to each person's situation. Her approach balances talking through problems with concrete tools for everyday life. Parents can expect help with communication, managing stress, and dealing with difficult behaviors.

People navigating identity or relationship questions will work on skills for clearer communication and stronger boundaries. Therapy with Michelle blends listening, feedback, and step-by-step strategies. She is practical and supportive, aiming to help people feel more capable and in control.

Starting therapy is often the hardest part, and she encourages that first step toward change.

Evidence-based approaches for online support

Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes skill-building for anxiety and stress management, teaching breathing, grounding, and problem-solving tools that can be used in daily life. Another approach focuses on communication and behavioral strategies for relationships and parenting, helping people set clearer boundaries and respond differently to conflicts.

Choosing the right approach usually happens together. The therapist listens to each person's concerns, goals, and preferences, then suggests methods to try. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the work feels useful and fits each person's life.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent progress while managing work, family, and other commitments. The variety of formats also helps people use the ways of communicating that feel most comfortable to them.
