Hi, my name is Michelle. The most crucial factor in finding the healing you seek is the connection you develop with your therapist. I will always keep you as the focus of my work. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am constantly learning and growing, yet the most critical resource in my practice is my ability to hear and understand you, my client, as we work towards treatment and healing. I utilize a variety of resources, modalities, and approaches in my work as a therapist, two of which may be especially helpful to your healing. First, I am able to incorporate faith-based counseling practices and principles as my clients desire; and second, I am able to offer clients animal assisted therapy in our outdoor settings on our farm on Maryland's Eastern Shore. You can expect to find peace, hope, and clarity as I help you develop new tools for overcoming life's hurdles and obstacles. These tools include problem-solving skills and strategies, skills for resolving conflict, coping techniques for trauma, approaches to unlock self-destructive thinking, an ability to identify and healthily express emotions, and the identification of helpful spiritual disciplines.
