"I am always humbled by my clients as we work through their healing journey."
Get to know Michelle
Why did you decide to become a counselor?
I became a counselor because people intrigue me - why they do what they do and the desire to help and learn about individuals.
What types of clients do you work with best?
As a telehealth clinician, I work best with individuals in their mid-20s or later.
What’s one thing you wish all clients knew?
That I care about them and value the fact that they are willing to share their personal experiences with me in an effort to heal, learn and feel better about themselves.
Why did you choose to practice at Thriveworks?
I liked that it was very close to being in private practice without the paperwork headache that goes along with setting up a private practice. I could do what I wanted to do (help and work people) and TW would do the balance.
What inspires you?
I'm easily inspired by people and life. I love to travel and find that inspiring as well.
What can clients expect in their first session with you?
To be thanked for their time
What do you want to accomplish with an individual in their first session?
That we are about to go on a journey - their healing journey and I'm humbled to be part of it. That it's not about me, it's them. I listen and do a fair amount of Socratic inquiry to begin learning their hopes and aspirations.
What do you do for fun/on your time off?
Travel, walk, visit family, read romance novels (with an occasional murder mystery), clean my house, and go shopping.
