Recent reviews
Michell has seen me in my highs and lows and every time she was there, I felt seen. She is thoughtful, caring, understanding, and most importantly, validating. I can't thank her enough for the work we've done together and the tools I will bring outside of therapy.
More about Michell
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, children behavioral concerns, and parenting problems. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, client-centered, and humanistic. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage 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, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Michell is thoughtful, encouraging, and challenges me. She is well versed in her field.
Michell listens and provides help that works. She also understands the stigmas that there are around mental health, also from a cultural perspective that helps with her understanding and being able to provide better care.
My sessions with Michell has completely changed my life around for the better. She actually listens to me and encourages me to lead our sessions and supports me and how i tackle my issues. She has tons of experience and resources that aid me and her personable and charismatic self makes me feel better when we meet. I could not recommend anyone better to have sessions with.
Michelle is so kind, easy to talk to, and genuine. She gives great advice and helps you through your journey every step of the way.
She’s great, very passionate in her work in the few sessions we’ve had I can tell she cares about me and my issues, and wishes to help me get threw them.
Michell is excellent. She was ready and eager to listen. We had helpful conversations and I felt like she knew me better than I knew myself. She is a proficient clinician.
