We are often presented with a plan for how our lives might look by our family, community, and society. What happens when your life goes off-script? Maybe you lose someone important to you, and you are left wondering how to pick up the pieces and move forward. Maybe you see your peers seeming to “check the boxes” of adulthood and feel like you’re falling behind or failing. Maybe you’ve retired and are finding it difficult to adjust to a life outside your job. Maybe you don’t fit into the straight, binary norm and you’re struggling to find what a full and healthy life looks like for you when you don't have a template. All of these situations can leave you feeling lost, and may lead to problems with anxiety and depression. How do you find meaning and hope when things aren’t the way you expected them to be? Let's look for the answer to this question. I use an affirming, client-centered approach to help you find the direction you want to take and the tools you need. I work with adults over 25, of all genders. I am currently accepting new clients for telehealth and in-person therapy. Contact me via email or phone to set up a free consultation call.

*I am currently full*My therapy focuses on helping adults heal from childhood trauma, learning new ways to think and live in the world, and identify a better understanding of oneself and the relationships with those around them. I enjoy working with adults who have persevered in life and who have the courage to want something better for themselves. Many people in childhood are left to navigate the world alone. The work I do, as a therapist, allows me to walk beside you, in the here and now, and help you navigate through the new and old territory in your life. I am a trauma informed therapist with an attachment and relational focus. I specialize in complex trauma, PTSD, dissociative disorders, anxiety, and depression. I use a variety of techniques to address the individual concerns and needs of my clients, however, there are three different treatment modalities I commonly utilize: EMDR, DBT, and Lifespan Integration.

I've worked extensively with trauma survivors to help them find healing from their past, and to begin creating a life worth living for themselves in the present. I became a therapist because I wanted to work with clients who had experienced trauma, and while I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients, I have worked successfully with clients from numerous backgrounds. I've trained extensively in different therapeutic techniques to provide the most effective care for my clients, and am trained in EMDR therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Psychodrama. I have a passion for my work, and strive to stay current on the latest practices in my field. My experience as part of the LGBTQ+ community and my knowledge of the unique challenges faced by members of the community helps me provide competent and knowledgeable care to my LGBTQ+ clients.

**Currently not accepting new clients** Sometimes couples feel as if they are stuck. Stuck in conflict, stuck in trust and communication issues, or stuck in stagnation. In my work with couples, I act as a neutral third party, striving to create a safe place in which we can work together to uncover these patterns of "stuck-ness" while also establishing a secure and loving bond between partners. I also enjoy working with women, tweens and up, seeking to make peace with food and body. I am honored to walk beside women through transitions and hardships, which often co-occur with food and body struggles. I work from a Health at Every Size/non-diet/Intuitive Eating approach and provide support to individuals or loved ones affected by disordered eating, body image difficulties, and diet culture. Additionally, I am passionate about helping people heal from traumatic experiences through the use of body-based methods, which create change without re-traumatizing. As a former dancer and dance instructor, I believe artistic expression can be a powerful avenue for healing and growth. I love bringing creativity into session when appropriate, such as art or writing. My dance background also means I understand the stress and pressures of being an athlete.

Are you struggling to show up in the present? Do you ever feel 'haunted' by past experiences that foreclose your way toward the future you want? I have met such roadblocks myself and believe that building a healthy interpersonal relationship in therapy paves the road to unlocking your goals & desires. I have specialties working with queer women & femmes in addressing anxiety, t/Trauma processing & recovery, sexual assault, and identity exploration. Gestalt therapy is oriented around building awareness: of ourselves, of our thoughts & behaviors, of our choices, and of our physical systems that are constantly sending us invaluable data about our experiences. I believe that for each of us to increase this awareness brings us more fully into the present, and only in the present do we have agency to change. Therapy is a dialogue. Together we can build the skills & practices you need to take authority over your life, including increased confidence & self-esteem, maintaining healthy interpersonal boundaries, and building new neural pathways that concretize the change you want to see & be.

Although I help people working through a wide range of issues and symptoms, I specialize in helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems and life transitions. I love helping clients detach from the unnecessary barriers placed by oppressive social structures, society, family, or themselves so they can start living the life they've always wanted. It's important to me that my clients feel heard, validated, challenged, and that our therapeutic relationship is collaborative. I value providing for my clients an experience that feels tailored to their needs. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and person-centered. I utilize techniques from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and promote mindfulness practice. I love ACT's focus on the present moment and approach on accepting the presence of unhelpful thoughts without letting them define us or control our behavior. I do my best to present as my authentic self in sessions and will utilize humor, swearing, and pop culture references as a regular part of our work together, paired of course with empathy, knowledge, and 10+ years of experience. Being true to my generation, I prefer to be contacted via email or text to set up our free consultation phone call.

Activism is a huge part of what I bring in my therapy work with clients. In trauma and healing work, I bring my direct experiences of anti-oppression, feminist, and social justice frameworks to clients. I understand that I am not excused from doing work to dismantle systems of oppression, due to the privileges from my intersectional identities as a college-educated, cisgendered, Filipina woman of color. Trauma and healing work require an alignment and connection to one’s body, mind, spiritual values and practices, and I see this as an extension of my involvement in activism, anti-oppression, and social justice work. Michelle utilizes an array of approaches with clients including and not limited to clinical case management, dance/body movement, spiritual work, with a dash of artistic creativity. Her approach draws upon her lived experience as a queer, non-monogamous, first generation Filipina American. Recently licensed in Oregon state and can see clients via telehealth and cash pay starting as low as $80. Full session fee is $175

Do you feel like you can't quit thinking about painful things that happened to you? Do you wish you could be more like the "you" before the trauma happened? Trauma can make you feel lonely and afraid. You can feel torn between wanting to talk about what happened versus keeping it all locked inside. I know it's hard to take that first step to get help, but once you start to talk about it with someone who knows how to help you heal, you can begin to work to reclaim the life you feel you lost. You and I can work together to create a safe healing environment. You will bring your willingness to heal. I will bring 15+ years of experience working with trauma survivors using a variety of effective trauma treatment strategies. Additionally, I work with people in the creative and performing arts. My work with creativity includes helping people who are experiencing creative blocks, helping with techniques to try to take creativity to a new level, or figuring out how to thrive in a world that doesn't always honor creativity as a viable career choice.
