Welcome! I am a licensed Profession Counselor in Wisconsin with nearly 9 years of experience.
Therapy is an overwhelming step to take when you are struggling, but a necessary and powerful one. To take action and get involved in our own healing is courageous. Congratulations on making that commitment to you.
My life’s aspiration is to work with the individual and honor their unique personal journal. I work from a strength-based, collaborative, and experiential place to help guide you through all the challenges that life can throw at us.
Together we will work to develop skills that will allow you to better manage your emotions and create healthier relationships in your life. Our collaboration will work toward stripping away false beliefs, embracing your own unique gift and together we will create a safe space for empowerment and possibilities.

My approach can vary between, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral therapy (DBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Person-Centered Therapy, Art Therapy, and Trauma focused treatment modalities.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She’s so helpful!!
She’s been fantastic - she has great resources that I use routinely in my daily life, and is like talking to a friend.
Michelle is intuitive, smart and considerate. She works with you to find out what issues may need to be addressed and helps you to better understand yourself.
Michelle’s the best and helping me through my family drama and processing my emotions of it all. I’m very grateful for Michelle!
Michelle is very understanding and speaks to me like a friend. It's very easy to open up to her. I highly recommend trying her!
Very understanding, makes you feel super comfortable and helps you find the best options based on your situation no matter what background, culture or place you are from. Highly recommended.
Michelle is caring and understanding.
I’ve spent many years in therapy, counseling and pursuing self- development. The talk-therapy that I have had has mostly been disappointing. I’m so grateful that my sessions with Michelle have proven to be just the opposite. She is insightful, practical, warm and funny. She has been really helpful to me in a very short amount of time!
Michelle has been monumental in my recovery from my breakup. In a way, she definitely sped up my recovery process which has been something that I've had difficulty dealing with before. Thanks to her, I'm more confident in how I approach life now and empathetic to the feelings of others- even those who have hurt me.
