Her background spans sixteen years of clinical practice in California as a licensed marriage and family therapist. That experience includes supporting people after traumatic events and helping them manage depressive symptoms. She also focuses on interpersonal problems such as poor communication and relationship strain.
Michelle aims to help people make choices that fit their everyday lives. Sessions typically involve direct conversation, reflection on recent events, and experimenting with new interaction styles. She also works on self-directed skills like managing anxiety and increasing self-acceptance.
If someone is considering therapy, Michelle asks about current concerns and goals in an initial meeting. She uses that first session to shape a plan that fits the person’s needs. The practice asks prospective clients to confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches used and how online sessions work
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear communication and symptom management. One common approach is structured conversation and problem-solving to reduce stress and anxiety; this involves identifying specific triggers and practicing new responses that can be used day to day.Another is trauma-informed support that helps people process difficult events and their effects. That work often includes pacing the conversation, grounding strategies, and building coping skills to reduce overwhelming reactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest methods to try. That recommendation is collaborative and may change as you notice what helps.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since formats are not specified here.
