Hello - I'm Michele and I've been in practice for the last 16 years working with children and families first in teen crisis center, residential housing for severe and persistent mentally ill adults, as a school counselor in both elementary and middle school setting and then in community mental health. These experiences have given me understanding of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and social pressures. I understand that many of these issues impair a person's functioning at home, school, and with their friends. I've been told that I'm both playful, insightful, and yet straightforward in my approach to therapy.

So much in life tears us down and tells us "we're not good enough," or "we're doing it wrong." Sometimes we even get in the way of ourselves, undermining our own best efforts. Let's face it; we can also be our best enemies. We're each in the middle of our own lives and heaven knows we could all use someone looking in from time to time to help us see what we're missing. We're not meant to go at it alone. You and I both know it just doesn't work that way. It takes each of us to get through this life together.

I love working with those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. I also enjoy working with folks that haven't been able to get results in their past attempts to get well. Compassion, integration, research, and skill building are the four ingredients that best describe my approach to helping. What would it be like if you were able to actually provide yourself the compassion, forgiveness, and love you so readily offer others?

I evaluate children, teens, & adults with questions of ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and related emotional dysregulation and problems in functioning. Families can experience major frustration in finding interventions that are individualized to people’s unique needs: going through years of therapy and not feeling any better; getting conflicting feedback from other clinicians; having several diagnoses that don’t seem to align with what you’re going through; treatments that don’t seem to get you to your goals. Having a clear diagnosis is key in establishing a treatment plan and supporting interventions that are a good fit.

I have lived in Idaho for over 15 years & have 6 children. I am both an adventurer & treasure hunter at heart. I love working to help people achieve their ideal self. Many people have goals and hopes that they wish to accomplish, and often times these objectives are complicated by challenges they are currently facing or have faced in the past. I believe that the individual is the catalyst for change in their life, and my position as a counselor is to help them identify those resources that they have used in the past as well as employ new resources.

So many of us are trapped by our own fears, insecurities, and doubts. Some challenges have names such as OCD, anxiety, hair pulling, skin picking, ADHD, or impulsive emotions. You might feel overwhelming sadness, fear in social interactions, or constant anxiety from intrusive thoughts. You may even be avoiding social interactions, struggling at work, having difficulty in personal relationships, or a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. These fears might be stealing your laughter, freedom, and connection with others. In therapy I can help you or your child navigate these complex experiences.

As a trauma specialist, I love working with clients, both children and adults, who are impacted by traumatic experiences. I use EMDR and other modes of treatment to help client’s explore, process, and understand their trauma. My goal is to help clients heal by developing healthy coping skills, reducing the impact of shame and self-criticism, and change their relationship with negative past experiences. I particularly enjoy working with clients from all different faith backgrounds, assisting them with faith exploration or deconstruction as well as individuals who have experienced religious trauma.
