Associate Professional Clinical Counselor

After spending over a decade in the corporate business world, Michaelene knew God had a different plan for her life. After realizing a calling to come alongside people in their hurt and help bring healing, she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Cornerstone University. She then went on to earn a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health from the Townsend Institute for Leadership & Counseling at Concordia University Irvine. Michaelene has spent the last three years here at Centered for Life working with individuals and groups alike. Though she works with a variety of people and situations, her passion is helping those who suffer from depression, grief, and trauma. She works with clients to find freedom through inner healing and EMDR.

In her free time, Michaelene loves to garden, but she spends most of her time traveling to spend time with family, especially her two wonderful granddaughters.
