When human beings experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. Michelle’s great passion is bringing healing to those people. As a Psychotherapist in the Worcester County area for over 20 years, she also began a private practice to help those around her struggle to make sense of life’s hurdles. After bearing witness to several close family members and friends’ diagnosis with breast cancer, she decided to take her professional experience to the test and begin the nonprofit Pawsitively 4 Pink in hopes of providing much needed direct financial assistance to local women battling breast cancer.

When Michelle isn’t supporting the underserved women in her community she is spending quality time with her wife of 15 years and her three dogs, Lexi, Sophee, and Gracee.

“A diagnosis of breast cancer infiltrates their bodies and can win the daily battles. We cannot let it win the war and steal what they have worked so hard for in their lives.”
