Meet Michelle
Hi, I’m Michelle — mom, therapist, educator, and founder of Beyond Therapy Solutions and Therapy Etc. Over the years, I’ve worked with children, parents, and professionals to build systems of support that actually make sense for real life.
I hold degrees in Education, Clinical Psychology, and Counseling Education & Supervision — but what truly shapes my work is being a parent myself. I understand the push and pull between wanting to do everything right and feeling like you’re running out of steam. My goal is to help families plan strategically, access meaningful resources, and move forward with confidence and connection.
​
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me reading, cooking, or spending time with my two amazing kids and the people I love most.

How does Beyond Therapy Solutions define success?
When considering how a young person is functioning, it is important to take their ability to function in three main areas:​
Emotional Functioning
-
How does the young person speak to and treat themselves?
​
-
Is the young person able to take care of themselves and show motivation towards an interest?
Social Functioning
-
How does the young person speak to and treat others?
​
-
Are they able to communicate wants and needs in a socially appropriate way?
​
-
Is the young person able to make and maintain friendships?
Academic Functioning
-
Being a student is a young person’s job.
​
-
Despite how they may be doing in the areas of emotional and social functioning, is the young person still able to accomplish what needs to be done?
By monitoring the frequency, duration, and intensity of problematic behaviors, we can clearly gauge success.
