About

Michele's first career was in business and outside sales, but helping others who are struggling with emotional pain has always been her passion.  Life circumstances created an opportunity to change direction from business to mental health, and ultimately pursue her dream.  Michele believes people are courageous to face their individual and relationship challenges; they are amazingly resilient and capable of healing, growth, and change.  She feels her role as a therapist is to collaborate with her clients toward a more desirable future and provide a safe, non-judgmental, supportive environment that nurtures growth and healing. She believes we are all a part of a greater whole and are influenced by others, including our family of origin, current relationships, society and culture; therefore, she approaches therapy from an integrative holistic perspective.

​

Approach

 

Michele's approach is grounded in systems training and attachment based theories. Her primary theories and modalities are Structural Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).  Structural therapy assists in understanding the complexities of boundaries and their role in creating safety and confidence allowing people to love freely without constraints and resentment.  Emotionally Focused Therapy can help people learn to improve their communication and increase emotional connection by identifying the negative communication patterns they may have gotten stuck in, learn how to identify primary emotions driving those patterns and how to communicate them in an authentic, congruent and clear way. She has completed Emotionally Focused Therapy externship as well as Core Skills, and is continuing to work toward certification. 

Specialty Training and Experience

​

Michele is a member of EMDRIA and has been trained and certified in EMDR by an EMDRIA certified trainer and works with those who are suffering from trauma in their childhood or adult lives, or as a result of public service. Michele is passionate about helping others who have experienced trauma in their lives as she herself has benefited greatly from the therapy. She wants to help others also feel relief from emotional pain and/or major blocks in their lives that keep them stuck.  

 

Michele has experience working with addictions and recovery both in in-patient detox, and residential treatment centers.  She has worked with other private practices working with individuals, couples, families and children and is the owner of CLEAR Counseling.  Michele is grateful for the supervisors and colleagues who have supported and mentored her along the way and desires to do the same for others.  Michele is a supervisor for the AZBBHS and supervises both interns and clinicians seeking their LMFT or LPC licensure.  She has taken the AAMFT supervisor training course and is currently receiving mentorship by an AAMFT approved supervisor with the goal of completing the requirements to also become a certified AAMFT approved supervisor.
