Hello and welcome!
My name is Michelle and I've been working in the mental health field, in a wide variety of settings, for over 30 years. I have training in CBT, DBT, EMDR, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing and IFS. I believe in a holistic, empowering approach to therapy and I meet my clients where they are. You are the expert on your life; I am here to partner with you to achieve the goals you set. I am a partner; I can't fix things for you and you will have to work too. But if you are ready to change your life, I am here to help!
My Experience
I have worked in both outpatient and inpatient addiction treatment programs for more than 22 years. I worked as an embedded therapist in multiple medical clinics for 8 years and helped to develop a cognitive-behavioral program to help those with chronic pain. I have managed teams of social workers and peer roles for a health plan, wrapping services around the most vulnerable members with severe mental illness, addiction and physical health issues. During the pandemic, I began to work remotely and have been fully remote for 3 years. I am now building a private practice, and I look forward to serving you.
I have a BS in Biology from Wilkes University, 1987 and an MSW from Marywood University, 2006. I have been licensed in PA since 2007.
