Michelle's educational background is impressive, as she earned her bachelor's degree in school social work from the renowned University of Illinois at Chicago.

When Michelle isn't dedicating her time to her practice or collaborating with fellow mental health professionals, she can often be found immersed in her garden, engrossed in a good book, practicing yoga, or daydreaming about her next ocean adventure.
