She is good at pointing out the mental loops/habits I keep falling into and helps me think of ways pulling myself out of them

Michelle is an incredibly compassionate and open person. I feel so comfortable speaking with her about a variety of topics and feel as though she prioritizes my agency and individuality during sessions. I have appreciated her multi-disciplined approach to helping me understand and approach situations, thoughts, and behaviors in a new light.

Welcome! I am a licensed Profession Counselor in Wisconsin with nearly 9 years of experience.

Therapy is an overwhelming step to take when you are struggling, but a necessary and powerful one. To take action and get involved in our own healing is courageous. Congratulations on making that commitment to you.

My life’s aspiration is to work with the individual and honor their unique personal journal. I work from a strength-based, collaborative, and experiential place to help guide you through all the challenges that life can throw at us.

Together we will work to develop skills that will allow you to better manage your emotions and create healthier relationships in your life. Our collaboration will work toward stripping away false beliefs, embracing your own unique gift and together we will create a safe space for empowerment and possibilities.

I am trained to help those who have experienced trauma, suffer depression, anxiety, and OCD. I also have experience with grief, motivation, self-esteem issues. I pride myself on helping people work through and navigate hurdles such as: social struggles, anxieties, depression, peer pressure, insecurities.

We are all so different and have different learning styles, therapy is not a one size fits all experience. In my 8 years of experience working in higher levels of care, I have accumulated many different therapeutic techniques that will be offered during your time in therapy, to see which approach will fit you best. My approach can vary between, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral therapy (DBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Person-Centered Therapy, Art Therapy, and Trauma focused treatment modalities.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Reviewed March 2020

I’ve spent many years in therapy, counseling and pursuing self- development. The talk-therapy that I have had has mostly been disappointing. I’m so grateful that my sessions with Michelle have proven to be just the opposite. She is insightful, practical, warm and funny. She has been really helpful to me in a very short amount of time!

Reviewed March 2020

Michelle has been monumental in my recovery from my breakup. In a way, she definitely sped up my recovery process which has been something that I've had difficulty dealing with before. Thanks to her, I'm more confident in how I approach life now and empathetic to the feelings of others- even those who have hurt me.
