She focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and major life changes. Michele emphasizes practical steps people can use day to day to feel more steady and connected. Her work is warm and client-centered. Michele listens closely to each person's story and uses that information to guide sessions. She helps people name difficult feelings, spot unhelpful patterns, and try new ways of coping that fit their life. Michele draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. She may use attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect emotions, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness techniques to build calm and focus. These tools are chosen to match what a person needs and wants to work on. Her background includes long experience with trauma, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and identity-related concerns such as LGBT issues. Michele also supports people facing chronic illness, adoption and foster care questions, and the impacts of domestic violence or divorce.
