About Michelle
She draws on about 12 years of clinical experience across community mental health, inpatient and outpatient settings, and work with substance use concerns. That background means she is used to meeting people where they are and adapting plans to fit different life situations. When an issue goes beyond her range, she will refer to other professionals so people get the right care.
Michelle uses a mix of approaches to match each person's goals. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses mindfulness practices to build awareness and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to make a change but feels stuck.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals, step-by-step strategies, and building skills people can practice between meetings. She pays attention to life context, including family of origin, caregiver stress, and career pressures. Michelle aims to help people find small changes that add up to better day-to-day functioning.
Her scope includes concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, anger, and coping with life changes. She offers English-language services and works with clients across Texas while accepting international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
