How I Can Help

🧠

Emotional Wellness

Less clinical jargon, more real talk. We'll untangle your thoughts together so you can breathe easier. No forced toxic positivity allowed.

🧩

Neurodiversity Support

Rooted in years of advocacy and specialized, lived experience with autism. I provide practical, empathetic guidance that actually works in the real world.

Life Transitions

Life is unpredictable—much like I-5 traffic between Tacoma and Olympia. Whether you're changing careers or feeling stuck, I'll help you find your route.

Hi, I'm Michelle.

With a deep background in mental health and years of specialized experience in autism support, I know what it takes to build emotional resilience from the ground up.

My coaching approach is collaborative, warm, and highly practical. I believe that emotional wellness doesn't come from pretending everything is fine—it comes from having the right tools to deal with things when they aren't.

"I possess the superhuman patience required to manage a household with a 16-year-old Lab, multiple senior cats, and a husband with endless tech projects. Trust me, I can listen to you."

When I'm not coaching, you can usually find me tending to my absurdly large collection of balcony plants, getting rained on during a hike at Tumwater Falls, or playing an intensely competitive game of Catan.
