You are more than a list of symptoms! Do you need a healthcare professional who sees you as an entire person? Every part of your life has and will impact how you think and how you feel. There are so many ways to approach emotional struggles. Each person has a unique story and an individual experience. Consequently, I take a holistic approach to exploring and helping you understand how to shift your life for the better.

Do you feel like you're stuck in the same negative thought patterns that keep you from progessing in life? Are you looking for a therapist who helps you feel comfortable to talk about the really hard things? Are you looking for a judgement free zone to promote the highest level of personal growth? Karen's approach to therapy is based on respecting the sanctity of the therapeutic relationship and building trust in order to promote positive change in your life. Karen uses cognitive behavioral therapy which focuses on how our thoughts and feelings about a situation affect our behavior.

Infidelity, sex addiction, communication struggles, and other relationships issues can wreak havoc with a couple, as well as individuals. I can help by providing support through individual, couple, and family sessions. I am a Certified Sexual Addictions Therapist (CSAT) candidate and work on treating the root causes of relationship issues, including addiction and trauma. Whether you are looking for healing, recovery, rebuilding, improvement, or support for you, your partner, or your family, we will work together to achieve your goals. I will meet you where you are on your journey as we work through your struggles together.

Shame is a minefield. It can steal our joy, kill our belief that we're worthy of healthy relationships and destroy who we see in the mirror. I've fought those battles in my own life and I know how easily they can leave you feeling hopeless, stuck, and resigned to destructive patterns. Together, we'll tackle the lies that life's traumatic moments have used to shape your story. We'll dig through the depression and reclaim your identity. We'll stand together against the anxiety and craft a plan for forward motion. Most importantly, we'll find hope that the change you need is possible.

Hello! My name is Michelle. I am a wife, outdoor enthusiast, mother (human and furbabies) and an imperfect human.

It is an immense privilege to help people carry the heavy burden of being a human. I offer professional and lived experience with eating disorders, anxiety and mood disorders. I utilize most of the skills that I teach my clients regularly. I attend as many trainings as I can. My goal is to be who I did not have when I was younger for my clients.

I believe each person has the resiliency and innate strength to heal from traumas in their life journey. My education, work experience and trainings have focused on helping individuals who have experienced trauma in many forms. I've work with families and individuals from birth through adulthood. I have experience working with adolescents and adults in the LGBTQIA+ community. My background working with children and caregivers in the hospital setting has given me a unique opportunity to work with various medical conditions and extensive healthcare trauma.

Today, more than ever, we all face changes and challenges on a daily basis. Coping with life stressors, healing from trauma, processing grief & loss, and learning to accept & embrace our unique selves are among the many topics I often address with clients.

Sharing your story may be the most challenging step of your journey. I know firsthand, as an adult survivor of childhood trauma. There is hope. I have a deep passion and understanding for those most closely affected by trauma. The effects of trauma are unique to everyone as is the journey of healing. My approach individualized for each client, but there are some overarching truths. Your story matters and it is critical to find someone to walk with you on your journey to healing. You will not find healing in isolation.

I want to help my clients view themselves through the lens of self compassion and growth. I am honored to walk through whatever journey my clients are willing to bring me on.

Video on website! When you come to therapy, you want something substantially different.

I use an experiential style of therapy that works well with people struggling with issues including addiction, affair recovery, trauma, abuse recovery, anxiety, attachment, spiritual growth, relational problems, and teens & their parents. I work hard to help people heal from painful wounds & problematic behaviors.

You've been in an office all day, and probably the last thing you want to do is go to another office and talk about problems. My goal is to do therapy differently when possible, whether that means going outdoors and taking a walk or meeting from the comfort of your own home via secured telehealth. Either way, you'll experience evidence-based treatment in a new way. Check out my website for more about what to expect. If you need one-on-one care, we can do that. If you're on a budget, check out my Jaunts, which incorporate hiking and groups at a lower rate.

Depression and anxiety are at an all-time high, especially among children, teens, and young adults. Their mental health is controlled by peers, social media, and high expectations administered by family. Sometimes, a traumatic event occurs and their lives spin out of control. Many individuals who struggle with their mental health at such a young age begin to fill the void of what they believe is missing in their lives with negative vices. Some, unfortunately, turn to self-harm and have suicidal ideations.
