Life Transitions
You might be feeling trapped in a cycle of anxious thoughts that won’t quiet down, constantly worrying...
Maybe you feel lost in the wake of a major life change, unsure of who you are or what comes next...
Or, maybe a significant loss in your life has left you feeling like you’re underwater, struggling to catch your breath in a world that no longer makes sense.
The weight of sadness, exhaustion, or loneliness might feel unbearable, and even the smallest tasks seem overwhelming.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. I provide a safe space where you can release the pressure of ‘holding it all together’ and begin to process the emotions that feel too big to face. Together, we can work toward healing, helping you find clarity, meaning, and a way forward—one step at a time.
Taking the first step toward therapy is an act of courage and self-care. Whether you're navigating uncertainty, life transitions, grief, or feeling stuck, you don’t have to do it alone.
I’m here to help you cultivate self-compassion, resilience, and a deeper connection with yourself. My passion is guiding individuals toward healing, growth, and a renewed sense of peace and purpose.
But the truth is—you already have the strength within you. My role is simply to help you uncover it. Let’s take this journey together.
Lets talk!
Meet Michelle: Licensed Therapist, Arkansas
Welcome! I’m Michelle, a licensed Clinical Social Worker, passionate about helping individuals deepen their self-awareness and overcome life’s challenges.
With over 10 years of experience as a counselor in higher education, and two years providing hospice and medical social work services at the VA Medical Center, I bring a compassionate approach to support you through transitions, anxiety, grief, loss, burnout, stress management, self-confidence issues, and work-life balance.
In our virtual sessions together, I create a safe and supportive space, combining therapeutic approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (M-CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) with a strengths based, trauma informed framework.

Specialties
Anxiety & Depression
Does anxiety, depression, unease and overwhelm get in the way of living your life to your full potential? Therapy can assist in identifying root causes and developing strategies to help you understand and manage it.
Bereavement / Grief & Loss
After the loss of a loved one, it's normal to experience emotional and psychological changes. If you are seeking a safe place to explore, feel and honor your feelings with compassion and kindness, I am honored to partner with you on your journey.
Life Transitions
Big changes in our life, whether negative or positive, planned or unplanned, can have a huge impact on our daily functioning. Change and life transitions are inevitable and can often leave us feeling lost, alone, unsupported, confused, and stuck. Oftentimes, change can leave us wondering what’s next, and if we made the right decision. Maybe you are changing careers, in the middle of a relationship change, or struggling with the loss of how things were as you are trying to discover how things currently are. When changes happen that are outside our control, that can often be much harder. Some life shifts in which therapy can be helpful include divorce, career changes, moving, unexpected events, and more. Ralf Waldo Emerson said, "It's not the destination, it's the journey." Therapy can provide valuable support during this journey of navigating changes, helping you understand and embrace the evolving landscape of your life.
Burnout & Stress Management
We all experience stress and stressful events. However, prolonged and excessive stress can lead to physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion. Commonly, we experience career/job burnout, caregiver burnout, or relationship burnout that might feel like fatigue, depression, anxiety, or overwhelm. Together, we can identify sources of burnout and begin exploring how to bring balance back into your life!
