She blends goal-focused strategies with warm, client-centered care to help people identify strengths, build practical coping skills, and pursue meaningful change.

Her practice addresses a broad range of needs including family and parenting issues, addictions, mood disorders, sleep difficulties, anger, career transitions, and concerns related to attachment, adoption, caregiving, chronic illness, and aging. Michele also supports those facing abuse or trauma, codependency, communication or commitment struggles, and adjustment after separation or loss. She draws on several evidence-informed methods - including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused approaches, mindfulness techniques, Client-Centered work, and Motivational Interviewing - to tailor treatment to each person’s goals and situation.

Michele earned a Master of Social Work in 2002 from University of Chapel Hill in North Carolina and maintains the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Raised in Miami, she now lives in Lake Wales, Florida, and approaches therapy with the belief that mental, physical, and spiritual well-being all contribute to resilience. She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can discover strengths, expand their coping toolbox, and move toward healing and greater life balance.
