Hello! I’m Michelle (she/her). I’m currently a Clinician Trainee earning my Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Cleveland State University, where my studies focus on gender, sex, sexuality, and relationships. I also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Promotional Communication from Cleveland State, firmly believing that strong communication skills help individuals elevate their relationships.

With over a decade of experience as a certified yoga teacher, I am passionate about understanding how external experiences shape our internal landscapes. Mindfulness weaves into every aspect of life, and I embrace the reality that healing is not linear and at times, can be squiggly. Having navigated my own winding path, I’ve found that tuning into mindfulness and intuition is a powerful tool for riding life’s waves.

I take a post-modern stance in therapy, recognizing that each individual is unique. In counseling sessions, curiosity, humor, compassion, and accountability are used to explore feelings, relationships and life. My approach is trauma-informed, sex-positive, and LGBTQIA+ affirming. Treatment plans are tailored to each individual or couple and may incorporate techniques from somatic therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and attachment theory.

When not thinking up new dad jokes, I enjoy traveling, yoga, running with my husband, learning patience from my two pups, and balancing a love for travel with a love for being fireside at my home in Lakewood. 

My pronouns are she/her.

I see clients in-person and virtually.

*Michelle is completing her internship experience at Ebb & Flow Counseling and is supervised by Meghan Ritter, LPCC-S.
