Conversations focus on what a person wants to change and small actions that can move things forward.
Michelle uses a mix of approaches to match each person's situation. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is used when people need support finding their own reasons to change.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal oriented. Michelle will work with clients to set priorities and track progress over time. She also addresses communication and family tensions, questions about life purpose, and issues many women face when balancing roles.
Her background includes a decade in clinical practice in Illinois. She speaks English and works with adults navigating life transitions, including the specific pressures of early adulthood like leaving home, starting careers, and rethinking relationships. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
