I’m Michelle. I’m a therapist and mama of two who loves supporting parents along their journey. I work with pregnant people, women and new parents who are struggling and wanting to find more connection, joy and confidence in their new identity. Read more about my story here.
Many people, especially mothers, are surprised by the complex emotions they feel related to parenting. It’s hard to enjoy every moment while simultaneously managing the load of parenthood. The balancing act of constantly trying to do it all can lead to a roller coaster of emotion including overwhelm, anger, anxiety and sadness. It’s exhausting.
I can be a guide on your journey.
By working together, we will learn to manage challenges, build greater awareness of thoughts and feelings, and improve the feeling of balance in your life. We will help you feel validated and supported for all of the hard work you do. We can learn how to rise and flow so that we show up in a way that feels more in line with who we are.

I work with pregnant people, women and new parents who are struggling and wanting to find more connection, joy and confidence in their new identity, including postpartum depression and anxiety, perinatal mental health, and grief and loss.
My office is in Denver's Capitol Hill neighborhood, at 217 E 7th Avenue, Denver, CO 80203.
I offer a sliding scale, with fees up to $200 for a 50-minute session. Cost shouldn't be the thing standing between you and support, so let me know what works for you when you reach out and we'll find a fit together.
I've chosen to stay independent of insurance companies so our work is shaped by you, not by an insurer. That means you don't need a diagnosis just to get started, there's no cap on how many sessions you can have, and you decide whether insurance is involved at all. If you'd like to use your out-of-network benefits, I'll give you a superbill to submit, and many plans reimburse part of the cost.
I'm an LCSW, a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C) and a registered yoga teacher. I use an integrated somatic approach that draws on yoga, mindfulness, ACT, CBT and Brainspotting.
Reach out through my contact page to request your free initial consultation, and we'll find a time to talk about what you need.
