Michelle also works extensively with couples as well as individuals of all genders seeking support in areas such as trauma, stress, anxiety, or depression.

Child & Adolescent Therapy: Michelle offers play therapy to help children process difficult emotions and life transitions in a developmentally appropriate way.

This approach can be particularly healing for children navigating emotional regulation challenges, divorce, foster or adoptive transitions, loss, or experiences of parental postpartum depression.
