Michelle’s biggest strength is her empathy and ability to sit with her clients through confusion, doubt, and frustration. She enjoys working with couples to help find common ground and truly see and know each other. She believes that relationships are the biggest source of joy and peace in life, and desires to help others realign themselves in order to fully experience a fulfilled life. Michelle enjoys incorporating faith into sessions with individuals and couples who choose to do so.

Michelle is married to her husband, Gene, who is a full-time firefighter in Cherokee County. Together they have five children ages 6-23. Michelle understands the unique challenges of first responder families and couples, and considers it a privilege to work with first responders and their spouses in counseling.

Michelle has an undergraduate degree in Psychology from Clemson University and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University. Michelle is a pre-licensed therapist under supervision and direction working toward a license in Georgia as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT).

A note from Michelle —

None of us were born knowing how to be the perfect partner. We all have past hurt, fears, and expectations that trip us up. The key is understanding those things about ourselves and each other, that’s where change happens. From there, we can begin to untangle and lay a new foundation built from purposeful communication, new emotional connection, and intentional actions that make a relationship solid.
