What Michele Loves Most
about Being a Therapist…
Seeing people grow and change in ways that help them love themselves and others better. Watching that kind of transformation through self-awareness, reflection, and healing is really powerful. I also just really enjoy connecting with people and being able to offer a safe, judgment-free space for them to be real.
A Bit of the Personal
On the weekends, Michele can be found at an exercise class, and listening to audiobooks and 90’s alternative music. She also enjoys reading, organizing, and hanging out with family & friends.
