She pays attention to all of my needs even when I am all over the place. Her light shines through our sessions and she has made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. She has provided me with assignments that have been helpful in my journey. I honestly look forward to our sessions! Thank you Michelle for your support!

More about Michelle
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LCPC
I am a licensed Clinical professional Counselor in Nevada with over 9 years of experience working as a Therapist, crisis response and group therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I have taken several trainings in trauma of all ages. My primary focus is children, I have worked with kids in the system, and worked with kids going in the system. My undergrad is in criminal justice which has helped me understand and educate parents that are dealing with child protective services to ensure positive interactions. I work with ages 3 up to 80 +. I have also worked with clients in the various communities such as Kink community and LGBTQ community, and the homeless.
My therapy style is warm and interactive, and empathetic. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I also remain transparent and encourage this in my clients when working on treatment. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage and the want to make a change in your life to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She is very knowledgeable and has great insight
Michelle is amazing! We matched at a perfect time and I look forward to moving forward.
Michelle has been my therapist for about a year now and a month. I can say I can see and feel my growth on how I handle life situations. Feeling like the black sheep of my family is not uncommon but Michelle help me understand their is power in it. I appreciate all the time and effort my therapist puts in and out of our sessions
Michelle is wonderful to work with. She’s understanding, completely non judgmental, empathetic and very supportive. She reads cues very well and knows when to push and when to step back. I appreciate her direct yet compassionate approach and ability to help me recognize that the therapy journey is not linear.
I absolutely love the help this grateful woman shares!
For having my first session, I found her a very good listener and having a good disposition.
Very thoughtful. Really good at seeing the whole picture and helping you to make sense of the chaos.
Michelle is literally amazing in every way. Her voice itself makes me feel safe in her presence. She’s such an amazing listener and when it’s time to give advise, she makes you feel like you have every ounce of support, love, safety, and freedom to do whatever possible. I’m so thankful for the safe space she and I have created. She’s a miracle worker for sure.
Michelle is a phenomenal therapist! I felt super comfortable to share everything without feeling judged! She has given me lots of great advice and I’d recommend her to anyone that is interested in therapy!
I’ve only had two sessions with Michelle thus far but I look forward to continuing with her. I feel comfortable speaking to her and appreciate her expertise.
Great communication, very engaged and easy to talk to. Offers a variety of different view points.
Michelle is a very attentive listener with a lot of experience and provides applicable and actionable feedback. She is easy to talk to and build a connection with which made the sessions fly by (in a good way)! She doesn't pander and will tell you what you need to know in order to better yourself or reflect on so you can improve what it is that you may be trying to work on or get a second opinion from somebody on. Would definitely recommend!
Super helpful
Michelle has been a godsend! She’s incredibly thoughtful, insightful, and supportive. I’ve tried several therapists over the past few years and Michelle is the only one who’s made me feel comfortable and seen.
I came to Michelle during a very low point and series of events that I hadn't know how to navigate and she was so kind and patient with me to hear and tell the truth of what to do in the situation. She's respecting my boundaries of not drastic changes but taking baby steps everyday to work towards the goal of healing and becoming the person I want to be
Michelle and I have worked together now and in the past. She has always been such a fantastic guiding light to my healing, letting parse through things while asking helpful questions that really make me think about the issues that I'm having from a different perspective. Her insight is invaluable.
Michelle was empathetic, understanding, professional, and very helpful with my situation. I felt better after speaking with her and I recommend her for anyone dealing with anxiety, stress, and professional/career-related issues.
I have been working with Michelle since the end of September I believe and so far has been great! She's really helped me to start taking steps I the right direction to begin to heal and understand what emotions come up as we all putting into adaption of healthy life skills. I would highly recommend Michelle to any person that is searching for either long or short term to help assist in their situation(s).
She has been great. I'd highly recommend her!
Michelle is very empathetic and supportive. I have had my eyes open to many new and different ways of thinking and processing situations. I would highly recommend Michelle!
Like a welcome reprieve where there is no where else in my life to express such thoughts other than journaling, like a helpful mechanic, Michelle holds a valuable flashlight to the dark unknown of myself to reflect whatever it is I’m working on so that I don’t have to hold the flashlight and tinker with the automobile of my mind at the same time. Thank you!
Just a couple sessions in but talking with Michelle has been instrumentally helpful for me during this transitional time in my life
Sue is very understanding even when I’m resistant to making a change or looking at an event from another angle she approaches the item with open mind and doesn’t tell me I’m wrong or what I need to do it’s more of well let’s look at it this way.
Very understanding and really comfortable to talk to.
Very helpful and kind.
I am trying my hardest to be a better person and overall heal from everything I’ve been through and there is no other therapist I want but Ms Michelle
Michelle helped me through one of the hardest times of my life following an 8-year breakup. Time and time again she was available, consistent, and guided me when my perceptions of myself was ruling over who I was and how I went through the world. She questioned the way I looked at things in a compassionate lense that also made me feel like she was always on my side. I would recommend her to anyone that suffers from anxiety, problems with self perception, and relationships.
Michelle is amazing! She understands me, listens actively and gives appropriate and helpful responses. She is funny and kind and is so knowledgeable. I cannot wait to continue treatment and see how I grow and progress which is what she wants for me.
Ms.Michelle has been really helpful and actually talking to me about stuff that I was going through and I am sad that I can't talk to her anymore , but I will soob
Michelle is an excellent listener, kind, and understanding. She provided very helpful suggestions and materials to help me with the difficult decisions I had to make. I would certainly return if cost weren't a issue currently. She is incredibly caring and insightful. Thank you for your valuable help and time.
Michelle is personable and very easy to talk to. She respects my experiences and praises my achievements and growth. I have learned a lot about myself in the time I have had to work with her and she has shared in my ah ha moments.
Michelle is a dope woman and I only had the chance of having her as my therapist for a short amount of time, but when I’m back she’ll be the one I look for.
Michelle is excellent. She listens. She remembers. She helps find insight and a different perspective. She asks the hard questions which I appreciate. I'm grateful that she was selected for me.
Michelle is very nice - her warm personality makes it easy to talk. I don't feel judged when I talk to her.
Michelle has shown that her professional guidance is very valuable to me. She is very attentive and listens as I try to explain my issues in life. She is very accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone needing guidance.
Attentive, kind and informative. Michelle has helped me see things through a different more clear lens, dive deeper into my personal development with myself and my relationships and more. 10/10
Michelle is one of the best therapist I've ever had she has been with me for years. Helping me, guiding me, pushing me, being that little angel on my shoulder constantly when I feel like I want to take a left turn when I know I should be going right. She has been one of my biggest supporters through my depression through my sobriety through my happy times and never gave up on me. And to be honest I don't know where I would be without her in this day of my life.
Michelle is very understanding and a great listener.
