My goal is to create a safe space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move toward a life that feels authentic and whole. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, or the everyday challenges that weigh on your heart, you don’t have to do it alone. I’m passionate about helping people find purpose and meaning in the midst of chaos. Together, we’ll restore your sense of self, build resilience, and uncover the strengths already within you.
Your first visit with me is all about creating a space where you feel safe and truly heard. I know it takes courage to make that first appointment, and it doesn’t go unnoticed. You can expect a relaxed conversation where we get to know each other, explore what’s bringing you in, and begin to clarify your hopes for our work together.
One of my strengths is noticing the details and unique qualities that shape your story—because those details often hold the keys to why you feel stuck today. I’m passionate about helping people find what feels safe, authentic, and true for them. For me, restoration is really about transformation: watching someone reconnect with themselves and step into the life they were meant to live.
If you’ve exhausted yourself trying to fix things on your own—trying every possible way to feel better—only to end up more overwhelmed or disconnected, you’re not alone. You may be carrying hurts or traumas that have buried your true self beneath what others expect you to be. If words like “I am not enough” or “I am too much” echo in your mind, I’m here to help you untangle those beliefs and rediscover the beauty of who you really are.

EMDR
I am trained in EMDR and other evidence-based approaches to support clients in working through the challenges that show up in daily life—whether in relationships, career, or in the nervous system (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) or when stress feels overwhelming. These struggles are often connected to unresolved grief, depression, or anxiety, and if left unaddressed, can quietly build over time. Together, we focus on what’s happening today, looking back only when it helps us move forward with greater freedom. By gently exploring patterns around attachment, boundaries, and core beliefs, I help clients grow their capacity—the ability to meet life’s demands with more clarity, connection, and resilience

Michaelene has been a perfect fit for me. She can tease out the little bits that cause a dichotomy in my brain. I feel safe enough with her to tell her things I have never told another human being. She is genuine, caring, non judgemental, and eager to help me find peace.

She made me feel at ease from our first session. She radiates authentic compassion and concern. I feel safe and heard with her. Which led to me being more open and trusting her to work me through the hard , deep issues . Grateful to have her as my counselor!

I am so grateful for the safety to talk freely and openly about the things I’ve experienced as a child and the struggles I face today. Only 2 sessions in and I just know God is faithful and using her to help me through this season!! The best!
