Michelle believes
every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and confident. With more than 26
years of pediatric nursing experience, she's dedicated her career to helping
children and teens build the skills they need to navigate anxiety, emotions,
and everyday challenges. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse
Practitioner, she partners with families to provide compassionate,
evidence-based care in a warm, welcoming environment where children can truly
be themselves.
Michelle has a
special interest in helping children understand and manage anxiety, teaching
them what happens in their bodies and giving them practical tools they can use
every day. She believes education, patience, and strong partnerships with
families help children thrive both now and in the future. Her office is
designed with young patients in mind, complete with toys to help children feel
comfortable and a treasure box waiting at the end of every visit. Outside the
office, Michelle enjoys reading, traveling, cooking, trying new restaurants,
and spending time with family, friends, and her oversized tabby cat, Loki, who
still insists he's a kitten.
