Calming Anxious Minds and Healing Wounded Hearts

Your mind races, and your body rarely feels at ease. Sleep is elusive, and peace feels out of reach. Even surrounded by people you love, you feel disconnected — like you don’t fully belong. You question your choices, doubt yourself, and long to feel confident again in who you are.

Hi, I’m Michele.

I’m here to help you along this journey.

Welcome—I'm Glad You're Here

I'm a licensed therapist with over 30 years of experience, and I specialize in helping people who are dealing with the lasting impact of trauma, anxiety, and feeling emotionally overwhelmed. I use proven approaches like EMDR and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to support your healing in a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space—where your story truly matters.

I know that reaching out for help can feel like a big and vulnerable step. My goal is to walk with you through this process—offering both understanding and expertise—so you feel supported, seen, and empowered every step of the way.

Therapy That’s Tailored to You

There’s no one-size-fits-all path to healing. Your experiences are unique, and so is the way we’ll work together. I use trauma-informed, client-centered approaches to create a plan that feels right for you. We'll move at your pace—with care, respect, and a focus on your strengths and goals.

Specializing in helping people embrace their most authentic selves.

  • Life can feel overwhelming when your mind won’t slow down. Racing thoughts, sleepless nights, and constant “what ifs” can leave you exhausted and unable to be present. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your anxiety and develop practical strategies so you can feel calmer, more grounded, and confident in facing life’s challenges.

  • Trauma doesn’t just stay in the past—it can show up in your body, thoughts, and relationships today. Whether you’ve experienced a single event or ongoing challenges, therapy provides a safe space to process what happened and move forward. Using EMDR and other trauma-focused approaches, I’ll help you reduce the intensity of painful memories, reclaim your sense of safety, and feel more like yourself again.
