She draws on techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking patterns, setting short-term goals, and examining personal narratives to build new perspectives.

She has worked with individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents on concerns such as anxiety, communication problems, trauma, grief, self-esteem, and relationship conflict. Michelle has experience facilitating support groups for fertility-related loss and pregnancy loss and helps people develop resilience through relationship work and confidence-building.
