About Dr. Michaels
A professional calling.
PhD in Counseling Psychology, New Mexico State University (2018) · Predoctoral internship (2018) and postdoctoral residency (2019), University of Oregon Counseling Services
My interest in psychology began early, fueled by my natural curiosity for the human condition and my keen ability to observe and intuit the unspoken in others. I have a true passion for psychotherapy and strive to bring that passion to every therapy relationship.
In my clinical work I am integrative. The foundations of my work are influenced by interpersonal, psychodynamic, and humanistic-existential schools of psychotherapy, with a style that is experiential, process-driven, and highly collaborative.
I am a generalist by training. I have worked and trained in university counseling centers, community mental health clinics, integrated healthcare settings, and sexual trauma recovery settings.

Mandala Medicine & Wellness
I moved this Portland integrative clinic off Wix and onto its own engine in nine days, with a Find Care guide that turns "migraines" into the right service and practitioners.
