Michele is a licensed therapist in the State of Indiana. She works with both individuals and couples offering both in office and telehealth sessions. Her areas of specialty are working with couples who desire greater connection and women who are navigating life transitions, health issues, shifting roles, and relationships of all kind.
Michele is an LMFT and has specialized training in systemic therapy which equips her well to understand relationships of all kinds and the affects that they have on each of us. She has specialty training in the areas of Brainspotting, Imago Therapy, the Enneagram, and the Gottman method and works from a collaborative approach valuing the needs, expertise, and inherent worth of her clients and their stories.
This is reflective in the welcoming, grounded, thoughtful, and warm way she interacts with them. She welcomes and values people from all backgrounds including race, culture, sexual orientation, religion, gender, and more. Michele earned her Bachelor’s Degree from Wheaton College and later her Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Christian Theological Seminary.
Outside of the therapy setting, Michele is married to her husband of almost 27 years and they have 3 daughters. They have considered Indianapolis their home for nearly all of their marriage except for a few years spent pursuing the mountains and adventure in Colorado. She loves running, exercise of most kinds with other people, the outdoors, travel, meaningful conversation, and pursuing joy and connection in the ordinary moments of life–especially as she navigates her own experience of transitions and shifting roles as a wife, mom, friend, daughter, sister, and woman.
Michele does hold other professional designations and roles, but does not serve her counseling clients in these capacities—concurrently, prior to, or after the conclusion of therapy. She is also unable to see anyone for counseling that she has previously seen as a client in one of these other professional capacities.
