This is for the postpartum mom who hasn't felt like herself in months. The person quietly navigating grief while the world keeps moving. The individual finally ready to explore their identity without apology. The one who's been told their feelings are too much, and has started to believe it.
Hi, I'm Michelle.
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
I started Cultivating Connections Therapy because I believed the therapy space needed something different. Not another quiet office with neutral walls and generic support — but a real, no-judgement space where people can show up exactly as they are and actually feel it.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Reno, NV, and I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating some of life's most complex chapters: identity, loss, parenthood, anxiety, and everything in between.
