“If there is one thing I would want you to know about Michelle it is that she is sincerely involved with the care and treatment of her patients. She cries tears of pain right along with you and truly gets what it means to suffer from ED’s hold you our life…..”
“Having my family involved in treatment was extremely important to my success in recovery. Having Michelle facilitate difficult and uncomfortable discussions with my family was a tremendous stress reliever for me. I was able to share very personal and strong feelings with my family in a safe and comfortable environment.”
37 year old female with anorexia-
“After my first session with Michelle, I felt, angry, depressed, scared, shocked; I felt extremely emotional after the first session, because for the first time ever, someone actually understood me!”
“During therapy with Michelle, I learned to be confident, positive and self-respecting.”
28 year old male binge eater-
Michelle helped me explore myself….from the inside to the outside. She helped me to look deeper than I wanted to look at times and found that there were things that I had not taken care of from childhood. She is helping me learn how to take care of my inner child in a loving and caring matter. She is teaching me gentleness with myself, nurturing of self, and how to allow parts of myself to come out with boundaries. Michelle helps me to explore the parts of myself that I want to be, the parts I have yet to live and want to try. She lets me explore my dreams, my hopes, my future by showing me that anything is within me if I just take the time to explore it and nurture it.”
“If there was one thing I would want you to know about Michelle it is that she works with her heart. She listens with her heart, she speaks with her heart, she follows her heart and she cares and hurts also with her heart. There is not a time that I have met with Michelle that I did not think that she was there for me with her whole being, her whole heart- for me, in that session. She has the passion of no other that I have known and she puts her entire heart into the person sitting in front of her at that very moment. If you are having a difficult day, you know that she is feeling it with you, you know that she wants to help you out of it or a least through it. On those good days she is there to celebrate with you, to let you know that the work that you have done to get to that point was hard and well deserved. What I want you to know about Michelle is that she is one of a kind! When I found her… I hit the jackpot and I will cross the state to see her…willingly!”
