Therapy That Helps Me Breathe Again
“I started therapy with Michelle initially to work on my anxiety, family dynamics, and self-care. Throughout the time we have worked together, I have felt supported and validated with each and every struggle I have faced. Therapy is a space where I do not feel judged, but rather I feel safe and reassured. Michelle continuously is able to push me in ways that I did not know I needed before; especially reminders that caretakers (myself) need to take care of themselves too. I find myself looking forward to therapy sessions to debrief on updates from my week. I leave therapy feeling lighter and like I am not alone. Therapy continues to help me grow and explore myself in a way that does not feel selfish but healthy and empowering.”

The Power of Feeling Understood
I started seeing a therapist when I needed help navigating a toxic relationship. I had a different therapist for about 2 years, but I never truly felt comfortable leaning in and being vulnerable with them. I can confidently say that working with Jenn has been the best thing that has ever happened to me and my mental health journey. I struggle with the fear of being repetitive with my issues, and burdening someone with my feelings, but Jenn has consistently reassured me that she is always open to hearing what I need to talk about, even if it’s the same problem, and I have learned to trust her which has allowed me to open up fully without judgment. The way she delivers her guidance has created long-lasting change in my approach to day-to-day difficulties, and I can always hear her incredible analogies and advice in my mind when I am navigating a situation that we previously discussed in our sessions.
Jenn is amazing at delivering an approach where I feel like I am confiding in one of my closest friends, yet she keeps the professional boundaries that therapists need with their clients. It has truly been the biggest blessing having Jenn as my therapist. She has a gift of making her clients feel seen, heard, understood and validated and that makes all the difference when it comes to opening up and working to apply changes, whatever that may be, within our lives. Starting the journey of therapy may be an overwhelming and scary quest, but doing so with Jenn, I can promise you, you will be in the best hands.”

A Safe Space to Grow
“At first I was nervous to open up but over time I started to feel genuinely heard and understood. It’s one of the few places where I can show up exactly as I am, messy, unsure or struggling and still feel accepted. Michelle helps me look at things I’ve spent years avoiding but in a way that feels safe and manageable. I’ve learned how to recognize what I’m feeling instead of running from it and that’s been huge for me. What I’ve found most helpful is how she help me see my progress even when I can’t see it myself.
While in therapy I’ve noticed a lot of changes in myself. I’m more aware of my emotions and how they affect my thoughts and behaviors. I’ve learned to pause and reflect instead of reacting impulsively which has helped me make healthier choices. Therapy has given me insight into patterns I didn’t even realize I had and how they’ve shaped my life. I’m learning to be kinder to myself and more patient with my progress. One of the biggest improvements has been feeling more in control of my actions and more confident in my ability to cope with challenges.
Working with Michelle has been one of the most important parts of my recovery. She’s not just a therapist, she’s someone who truly listens and who sees me even in my darkest moments. In our sessions I’ve felt a weight lift simply from being understood and supported. She has helped me recognize patterns in my thoughts, emotions and behaviors that fueled my addiction and she’s guided me in finding healthier ways to cope. Therapy with Michelle has given me a safe space to be vulnerable, to face my struggles honestly and to celebrate small victories along the way. She’s reminded me that recovery isn’t a straight line but that I am capable of growth, healing and making better choices even when it feels impossible.”
