I’m Michelle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work and over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I have proudly called Phoenix home for nearly two decades, and I am deeply committed to serving the diverse needs of this community. My approach to therapy is eclectic and client-centered, integrating evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing. I believe that each individual is unique, and I tailor my approach to best support each client’s specific goals, strengths, and experiences. I have specialized experience working with individuals in the Serious Mental Illness (SMI) population as well as members of the LGBTQ+ community, and I strive to provide a supportive, inclusive, and affirming therapeutic environment. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and watching scary movies.
