Together We Heal - Together We Grow
Do You Feel As Though Your Past Is in the Driver’s Seat?
Even if life is different now, it can be a struggle to break out of old patterns - because change is hard. Your life can become about the things you want to avoid rather than how you want to live. Your inner voice may be filled with criticism and even when you try to fight back, what you know logically just isn’t translating to how you feel. For most of us, the past lays the foundation for how we respond in the day-to-day. But for many, the responses that were once there to keep you safe can now leave you feeling stuck.
Or Perhaps You’re Struggling With How Sex Can Be a Valued Part of Your Life Instead of Just Another Thing to Check Off the List.
Maybe you’ve never gotten much out of sex and feel like it’s something you just do for your partner. Or maybe you remember the passion you used to have in yourself and your relationship, but stress, kids, pressure, and lack of energy have drained you of your sexual desire. Sex therapy can be a way to explore barriers to a satisfying sexual life and help you connect to pleasure within yourself and with your partner.
I Believe the Relationship You Have With Yourself and Others Can Be Different
I’m Michelle.
I’m here to support you in gaining clarity and direction to move forward.
I am a psychologist, AASECT certified sex therapist, and trauma specialist.
In therapy, I bring my knowledge of research-based approaches to best collaborate with clients in a way that meets their individual needs. I’m not here to tell you what to do, but rather to join you and offer approaches that I believe will bring you closer to your personal goals. Therapy can be hard work, so I want it to be in service of things that feel meaningful to you.
Trauma Therapy
Therapy won’t make your painful experiences go away. But it can help them feel more like a memory instead of a daily part of your life.
Sex Therapy
Just because sex is a natural part of our lives, that doesn’t mean it always happens effortlessly. Discover or reconnect to pleasure and passion.
Psychedelic Integration
Psychedelic-assisted therapy is a powerful new approach to healing. Get the most out of your psychedelic experiences with integration sessions.
How to Get Started
Free Consult
One of the most important parts of therapy is finding the right fit for you. Schedule a free, 15-minute consultation where you can learn more about me and make sure you feel comfortable moving forward.
Intake
If we determine that I’m the right fit for you, we will start with a 90-minute intake session. This longer appointment gives me time to get to know you, where you currently are, and what has led you there. This also helps me brainstorm treatments that I believe will be effective.
Get to Work
We will discuss various treatment options and I want your feedback on which approach makes sense for you. Then we will start working toward your goals and adjust as needed along the way. Appointments are typically 45-50 minutes every 1-2 weeks.
