“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.” - Henry David Thoreau

Michaelene has a gentle way of making you feel truly seen and heard, and I often leave feeling lighter.
While we can search for answers on our own, something changes when our story is spoken and genuinely received and makes change feel possible.”

I spent many years in an abusive marriage and tried different forms of therapy, including marriage counseling.
I was rarely asked how I felt or what I needed, and often felt expected to try harder. Michaelene offered a different experience—one grounded in understanding and safety—that helped me shift my perspective and focus on what I can control as I move forward.”

I was emotionally numb from a health crisis and family trauma when I started with Michaelene.
She immediately put me at ease. I was skeptical about EMDR therapy, but even the first session was remarkable—it changed how I remembered traumatic events and reduced their triggering power. With her patient guidance, I've moved from unforgiveness and shame to genuine freedom. I never thought this was possible.”

I came to therapy afraid I was going to lose my relationship because of my ADHD and anger.
Working with Michaelene helped me slow down, understand myself better, and respond differently. I feel more in control, and my relationship feels calmer and way more connected now.”

Michaelene does a very good job of allowing me to be myself, and does her best to help me connect the dots between some of my thought processes which can at times be disjointed and sporadic.
I always leave feeling greater peace and encouraged to continue working to understand and treat myself with greater kindness, compassion, self-control, and trust in my own identity."

This was my first session of therapy ever.
I felt so comfortable to share all of my story and feelings (not normal for me AT ALL). She is such a sweet woman and made me feel so understood."
