I can help.

It can be scary when you don’t know how to help your child, especially if they have seen other counselors before. It is equally scary for your child who may feel they will never get the support they need. Coming to therapy will give you and your child space to learn how to heal, connect, and accept one another. I can work with the parents as a coach, the whole family, or just the child.

Engaging with a licensed family therapist can provide valuable support for adolescents and families grappling with a range of challenges. Michelle can help with the most complex and severe instances of adolescent mental health trauma.
