Michaela is not accepting new clients at this time. 

Michaela strives to create a space in her counseling sessions for growth, honesty, and healing. She knows that it is an honor to walk through a season of health and healing with you. Her playful and sensitive demeanor creates a safe place to learn and discover new things about yourself and your relationships with others. Michaela enjoys working with women, children, adolescents, and marriages.  

Now onto the boring, yet important, part of the bio: Michaela received her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Denver Seminary. This is a fully accredited program that gave her expertise on therapeutic skills alongside appropriate spiritual integration when the client sees fit. She utilizes family systems, person-centered, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques in her therapeutic process.  She is also EMDR trained from an EMDRIA approved facilitator. She believes that true changes occur in our life when spirituality is integrated into best counseling practices. Prior to becoming a counselor, Michaela has experience in overseas mission work, non-profit management, and working therapeutically and educationally with the public schools in Denver, Lincoln, and Beatrice,  as well as Head Start Nebraska.  

Back to the fun stuff: Michaela enjoys hanging her hammock from any two trees she can find and to settle in with a good book. She loves camping, boating and mostly just being outside. While living in Denver she loved long drives and hikes in the mountains. Since moving to Lincoln, she has enjoyed exploring the biking trails, the farmer’s markets, and many wonderful parks with her family. You will often find her gathered around a table playing board games and loving her community.  

Michaela accepts self pay, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Midlands Choice, and United Healthcare.
