As a Christian counselor, Michaelene believes every person is created with inherent worth, dignity, and purpose. She is passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change.

She strives to help clients build on their strengths, develop healthy coping skills, and move toward their goals with confidence and hope.
After recently relocating from Alaska to Minnesota, Michaelene is enjoying all the state of Minnesota has to offer. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, kayaking, biking, spending time with family and farm animals, reading, attending theater productions, and exploring her family genealogy.
