More About Michelle


Child and Family Therapy



In my practice I specialize in meeting the therapeutic needs of children and their families. As a therapist for your child, I can address a variety of concerns including adjustment to divorce, behavioral difficulties at school or home, exposure to child abuse or relationship violence, and other various mental health concerns. My experience in working with children is extensive. I have worked in the Early Childhood Education field for over 10 years working in various positions including working as a preschool teacher, camp counselor, in-home childcare provider, baby sign language instructor, postpartum doula, and child and family therapist. When working with children I use play therapy techniques and I involve the parents on an as needed basis for family therapy. Parents are a large part of the therapeutic process. Therapy begins with a complimentary session to discuss your concerns for your child and your family's goals for therapy.



Postpartum Depression Treatment, Individual Therapy and Divorce Recovery Group for Children

In addition to offering child and family therapy, I also offer phone consultations or weekly therapy to treat pregnant or postpartum women who struggle with anxiety or postpartum depression. I work with individuals to address a variety of issues such as anxiety disorders, depression, or trauma. I also run a weekly divorce recovery group for children on Fridays, 7pm-9pm, at Denver First Church in Denver.

As a counselor, my mission is to work with individuals and families to help them reach their own therapeutic goals. I am a client-focused therapist who believes that each individual has the ability to write and rewrite their story meaning I believe in a persons ability to take control of their life and make the changes necessary to reach personal fulfillment.
