Stop Repeating the Same Patterns.
Start Creating the Life You Want.
Break free. Heal deeply.
Live authentically.
You’ve been trying so hard to hold it all together. Yet inside, it feels like you’re running in circles.
Cycles of self-doubt, overwhelm, or people-pleasing keep pulling you back, no matter how much work you’ve done.
It’s exhausting, isn’t it?
These patterns don’t define you.
THEY’RE JUST FAMILIAR WAYS OF COPING AND THERE’S A GENTLER, FREER WAY FORWARD.

Hi! I’m Michelle.
Therapist, holistic life coach, author, podcast host and creator of The Adult Chair®.
For over 25 years, I’ve been helping people just like you move from feeling stuck and disconnected to living with clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom.
I developed The Adult Chair® as a simple, practical way to understand yourself on a deeper level, heal old wounds, and step fully into your authentic self. This model blends psychology and spirituality, giving you the tools to navigate life’s challenges with compassion, truth, and grounded presence.
I believe you already have everything you need inside you—the wisdom, the strength, the clarity. My job is to help you uncover it, trust it, and live from it every single day.
Whether you’re just starting your journey or ready to go deeper, I’m here to guide you toward the peace, joy, and self-trust you’ve been longing for.
When you’ve tried every tool and still find yourself looping back to the same struggles, that’s the moment we do this work together.
Together, we use The Adult Chair® model. A simple, practical framework that helps you understand the parts of yourself that are running the show, heal the wounds that keep you repeating old patterns, and step into the grounded, confident, present-day version of you.
You’ll learn how to respond instead of react, set boundaries without guilt, release the weight of past hurts, and finally live with the peace, clarity, and self-trust you’ve been craving.
