LGBTQIA+ Affirming

Michelle brings extensive experience working with the LGBTQIA+ community to her practice. She completed her internship and associateship at the Los Angeles LGBT Center, where she provided therapy to at-risk adolescents and adults, including current and former foster youth and unhoused individuals. Through this work, she developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges facing LGBTQIA+ clients — from navigating identity and family dynamics to the compounded effects of housing instability and systemic marginalization — and remains well versed in providing affirming, informed care to this population.
