Heather is an incredible therapist who has truly made a difference in my life. She is compassionate, attentive, and brings a deep level of knowledge to every session. What stands out most is the way she not only listens but equips me with practical tools and strategies I can use to manage my mental health every day. Her guidance has helped me navigate challenges with more confidence and resilience, and I always leave our sessions feeling supported and empowered. I am so grateful for her expertise and the safe, encouraging space she creates. Her level of compassion is unmatched where I feel like family instead of a client, the feedback she provides has helped me manage me level of avoidance, and really grow as a person when it comes to family matters and personal relationships development. Simply put I have recommended her to family and friends :)

SAVerified patient

I’ve really enjoyed my therapy sessions with Heather over the years. At first, I was hesitant and unsure if therapy would actually help me. Over time, though, Heather has made a real difference. She’s guided me in retraining my thinking, recognizing my self-worth, and understanding what I truly deserve in the long run. Her support has been invaluable, and I’m grateful for the positive changes I’ve experienced.

AOVerified patient

so kind and intelligent. really gets into the background of science, and why we behave the way that we do. Heather is amazing, kind and a great listener.

Maya E.Verified patient

A very great session. Well structured, empathetic, caring, considerate. Came away with a plan on how I could work on my issues with a timeline and checkup points. Just loved it.

BHVerified patient

I cannot recommend Heather highly enough. From my very first session, I felt seen, heard, and truly understood in a way I had never experienced before. She's compassionate, knowlegable, and non judgmental. She created a safe space where I felt I could be myself and truly open up and work through challenges I had been carrying for years. No matter the subject we were addressing, Heather offered a steady, supportive presense that helped me transform my life. The empathy she shows is genuine and I always appreciated that she was direct in her questions and responses. My sessions with her always felt productive. I would leave with tools and strategies that left a lasting empact on my life. If you're considering therapy and want someone who truly cares, listens deeply, and has the expertise to help you grow and heal, then you'll find the perfect fit with Heather.

MRVerified patient

My first session went very well. It was a new experience for myself and I had some doubts but I was comfortable from the first second and it flew by. Not much to say at this point as you can only imagine how much you can even say in 1 hour. I look forward to the next few sessions and learning about myself and the entire process dedicated to my treatment.

January 22, 2026Marco C.Verified patient

I like Michelle because she is transparent. She is open to feedback and very kind. She understands chronic illness and caregiver fatigue, which has been so helpful.

TSVerified patient

I genuinely believe that I wouldn't be alive today without Michelle's support. When I first saw her, I was on the brink of ending it, & her guidance helped me find my strength & renewed hope. Michelle is an exceptional therapist who embodies professionalism and warmth. She listens intently, relates my concerns to real life, & never makes me feel less than whole due to my mental health challenges. Conversations with her feel like talking to a best friend/big sister, all while she maintains the utmost professionalism. She goes above & beyond for her clients, ensuring we are truly cared for. Ie, she allows my family members to join sessions when necessary, providing immediate support without needing to schedule another appt. Her honesty, compassion, and down-to-earth nature create a safe environment where I AM understood. THANK YOU Michelle, for your unwavering support and dedication. You are an invaluable asset to our community, & I am profoundly grateful for your presence in my life.

JIVerified patient

Michelle has been an outstanding therapist who has transformed my life. I struggle with severe trust issues due to phobias, CPTSD, & etc, making it hard to share my trauma. The 1st session on, I felt safe & comfortable enough to open up. What sets her apart is her commitment to her work. She goes above & beyond to support me, never gaslighting & being honest about her knowledge. Whenever I have questions/concerns, she diligently seeks answers & is open to adjusting her approach based on feedback. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve emerged from the darkest depression I’ve faced. She has helped me process grief & establish healthy boundaries while addressing diverse personal & family issues. She has taught me to accept my diagnosis without letting it define me. Her focus on open communication allows me to express any grievance , & she addresses it immediately. If you need a therapist who genuinely cares, look no further. I’m grateful for her support & the lasting impact she’s made-

JHVerified patient

If you are reading this and you feel hopeless, I want you to know that I understand. If you are a member of the trans community, a trauma survivor, or anyone who feels like they are carrying an impossible burden, please know that there are people who can help. Michelle is one of them. She is a beacon of hope, a skilled and trustworthy guide through the darkest of woods. Working with her has been the single greatest investment I have ever made in myself. It has not just been about managing symptoms; it has been a journey of coming home to myself, of reclaiming my narrative, and of learning that a joyful, peaceful life is not only possible, but is something I deserve. I am endlessly grateful for her, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

PLVerified patient

Michelle provides a warm and affectionate presence that was needed during my time with her! I appreciate all of her advice and teaching me valuable skills! I highly recommend her if you are looking for a warm, kind, and loving presence!

AFVerified patient

I felt so lost and lonely for the last few years. Isolated even. Just felt like I didn't belong. I finally listened to a friend and started looking for someone to talk to. Michelle was the very first person I met in my mental health journey and has been a huge help in my life. As soon as she said hello to me I could already tell she understands. She sees me. Sometimes I think that is all we need. To feel seen and heard. I hadn't had that since before covid. I still struggle and things didn't change overnight, but without her I don't think anything would have changed at all. Thank you Michelle for helping guide me back to becoming whole again and I hope by me telling others of how you helped me, this in turn helps you.

KWVerified patient

I've been trying therapist off and on or 30 years. This is first time I stopped feeling accomplished. So any are pushy, judgmental, and don't care about what you actually need. Not once did Michelle do that. She helped with many things, but he important part was just listening and not forcing me to do things I didn't feel necessary. Thank you always Michelle.

TNVerified patient

I have known Michelle personally and professionally for many years. She has always shown compassion and understanding for everyone she has worked with. Michelle brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to her practice and always has the best interests of her patients at heart. I cannot recommend Michelle highly enough.

"I’ve been working with Michelle for several years, and she has been such an important part of my progress. She’s helped me navigate challenges with Autism, Anxiety, and past trauma in a way that feels both safe and supportive. Michelle is incredibly patient, compassionate, and thoughtful — she really takes the time to listen and provide practical guidance that makes a difference. I’m grateful for how much I’ve grown through our work together, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dedicated therapist."
