Hi, my name is Michelle, and I am a graduate student at Aurora University. I will graduate with my master’s in social work in August of 2025. I will then work towards receiving my LCSW to continue to grow and provide the best care for my clients.
I have years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults from my previous internships and occupations. I have a passion for working with adolescents and adults and the LQBTQ+ community. In therapeutic practice, I take a person-centered approach using a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Therapy, and I have training in the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study.
I am enthusiastic in continuing to learn therapy approaches to best fit my client. I have a passion for collaborating with clients who may be experiencing Anxiety, Depression, Self-Esteem Issues, Stress, School Issues, and Grief. A little about me – in my spare time, I enjoy cooking, cleaning, reading, watching Netflix, and being at home with my two cats.
