About Michelle
My name is Michelle, and I hold a Master’s in Counseling and an MBA from Wake Forest University. With more than twenty years of experience in counseling, coaching and education, I have worked in schools, universities, corporations, and private practice to help individuals thrive.
My educational and professional experiences allow me to develop a tailored approach to the unique strengths and needs of each client. I am a strong proponent that growth happens through self-awareness, authentic connection, and practical strategies that help turn insight into action. My passion is helping anyone with ADHD, and I work with adolescents, collegiate, and adults of all ages to develop coping strategies to foster personal growth and development. I also work with individuals experiencing grief, depression, and anxiety.
I have a background in managing budgets and projects while ensuring alignment of financial resources with organizational priorities. I work with entrepreneurs and professionals to help them lead more effectively, get clear on their priorities, complete tasks, and delegate more effectively by understanding how their brains function best. I look forward to working with you!

What clients say
- “Experienced and helpful advice.”
- “I was very reluctant to begin therapy because I didn’t feel I could speak openly and honestly with a stranger about my issues, however after just one session with Michelle I knew she was the right fit for me. By the end of my second session I felt so much weight lifted off my shoulders. She is incredibly patient, listens intently, offers validation and support, and has a very calming (virtual) presence about her. I look forward to our sessions and any apprehensions I had about therapy are gone now. I am so thankful to have been matched with her! I would recommend her to anyone in my life. Thank you Michelle!”
- “Michelle has been kind, attentive and offered several different options for support which includied suggesting relevant groups. Her follow-ups are well timed and appreciated.”
