02 · In Michelle's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
With many years of experience as a licensed therapist, I have dedicated my career to helping children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. I provide a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes.
My clinical experience includes working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, family conflict, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional difficulties. I have extensive knowledge and experience in helping clients develop effective coping strategies, improve communication, strengthen relationships, and build resilience.
I believe that every individual and family has unique strengths, and I tailor treatment to meet each client's specific needs and goals. Whether working with a child struggling with emotional or behavioral concerns, a couple seeking to improve their relationship, or a family working through conflict, I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches to foster growth, healing, and lasting positive change.
My goal is to create a safe, collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel supported as they gain insight, develop practical skills, and move toward greater emotional well-being and healthier relationships.

03 · What happens next
Michelle practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Michelle's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Michelle at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Michelle is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Michelle.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Provenance
Michelle's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Michelle. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
