Hi there, I'm Mikaela!
My passion centers on being present during people's hardest moments and supporting them as they recognize their strength. Making your brain and body home again requires permission to grieve, release, and restore pieces of who you are. I use a human-first approach—before any diagnosis or label, you deserve goodness simply because of your pulse.
My focus
I work with folks who feel stuck—maybe you've been in therapy forever without finding the connection or growth you need, or you've never tried therapy and searching for a therapist is the bravest thing you've done. I work with people who have experienced trauma, including substance use, sexual trauma, eating disorders, self-harm, and violence.
My approach
I utilize Systems and Narrative approaches, Dialectical Behavioral skills, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, and existential practices. These approaches give you the opportunity to reframe your experiences in a way that provides understanding and peace within your past, compassion for your present, and hope and trust for your future.
