Personally, and professionally, Michele believes everyone has a unique set of God-given strengths and abilities and that there is purpose in everything we experience in life. She enjoys creating an authentic, safe space where children, teens and adults can be their true selves. This gives them the opportunity to explore new ways to navigate all the things life brings their way. Michele understands the vital role that families play in shaping these life experiences for each other, so being able to understand each other and communicate well is key. Her approach is holistic, using evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques.
Michele received her master’s degree in professional counseling from Liberty University. Her past-experience includes working in a residential facility for moms with substance use disorders and a home for new single moms. She has also worked with children in several school settings.
