Hi, I’m Michelle
I firmly believe that we naturally lean towards healing, and I also understand that to be human is to know suffering. We are all deserving of peace, and my intention is to support you in claiming yours. Therapy is a space where we can cultivate meaningful action toward healing as we work to understand how we relate to our suffering. In our therapeutic relationship, I aim to show up as my authentic self - someone who will laugh with you, grieve with you, celebrate you, and support you in navigating life’s challenges while providing insight into tools that ease the process.
I treat individuals with a variety of concerns including identity development, gender dysphoria, body kindness, body liberation, self esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and LGBTQIA2S+ specific issues. My approach incorporates elements of psychodynamic theory, EMDR, acceptance and commitment, and mindfulness. I am dedicated to incorporating HAES (Health at Every Size) principles to my practice. My approach is humanistic and tailored to each unique individual while being grounded in my practice cornerstones of openness, trust, curiosity, humor, and empathy.

When I’m not in my clinical space, I enjoy connecting with loved ones, baking, walking my pups, trying new food spots, and exploring all the beautiful places around Oregon. I love taking road trips and spending time by the ocean whenever possible.
My colleagues will occasionally make an appearance in our virtual therapy sessions, but mostly they sleep on the job.
