Michele specializes in treating Anxiety, Depression, and PTSD/Trauma, and she also has extensive experience supporting individuals navigating bipolar disorder, psychosis, and substance use concerns. She works with adults and seniors, including young adults transitioning into independence and older adults facing life adjustments.

Her work emphasizes measurable progress, accountability, and sustainable coping skills that extend beyond the therapy session. Michele earned her education from Portland State University and the University of Washington, grounding her practice in strong clinical training and ethical care.
