"Michelle has all of the qualities of a great therapist. She’s empathetic, and a great listener, and her powers of observation are super sharp! She hears what I’m saying not just at the surface level but underneath the words and smiles. She encourages me to interrogate my thoughts and more importantly, to process and honor my emotions even when I’m uncomfortable, not tapped into them, or would prefer to avoid them. She’s also non-judgmental; she gives me the space to say what’s on my mind and reminds me that as I focus on being a work in progress, I am enough right now. Through my work with Michelle, I am reminded to extend the same grace to myself that I give to others. I also feel more confident and empowered to make the positive and necessary changes that will benefit me and put me on the path I want to be on."
