I met Michele at a transitional time in my life. I had grown up in a family structure that avoided conflict and struggled to communicate. It is difficult to work through deeply ingrained issues, and it can be even harder to trust that an alternative way will actually work. But even when I didn’t trust the new way, I trusted Michele. Michele gave me a safe and gracious place to work through the reality of who I was, and who I wanted to be. She has walked with me on the journey, giving support, encouragement, and new strategies along the way. She has consistently provided me with tools to create wholeness in my life. I have found that using these tools to create new patterns in my personal identity issues, relationships and professional pursuits is a long road, but one that is worth it.
I am still on the journey, but working with Michele has already brought great freedom in my struggles with self-esteem and identity, in my family relationships, and in my relationships with other women. I know that this process is like slowly opening a window, flooding a room with light, breeze, and the promise of a new day. Michele has helped me open that window inch by inch.
