About My Clients

Hi I'm Michaela. I don't know you yet, but something tells me that you didn't arrive here by accident. You are a woman who knows something needs to change. Your anxiety feels overwhelming, you carry trauma that shows up in ways you may not fully recognize. You feel disconnected from yourself...and your life. You’ve learned to silence your needs and doubt your intuition, but now you're done feeling stuck. You want to trust yourself again, even though it feels scary to begin. I understand...

My Approach to Helping

If you’re here, you’re probably someone who’s already done a lot of inner work. You’re self-aware, capable, and motivated, but you still feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or tired of holding it all together. Our work starts by slowing down. Instead of pushing through or just talking about your problems, we also pay attention to what’s happening in your body and nervous system. Together, we explore the parts of you that work hard to stay strong and in control, and the parts of you that feel exhausted, anxious, or ready for something to change. I offer a steady, supportive space where you don’t have to perform or figure it out alone. Over time, you will feel more grounded, trust yourself more, and experience real change...not just insight, but relief. If this resonates, I'd be happy to connect. Reach out to schedule a consultation.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe change begins in the moment our inner experience is received without judgment or correction. So many of us carry a quiet belief that we are not quite good enough and we spend a lot of energy to hide those parts of ourselves. But underneath that effort is a longing to be real, messy, and honest. We want to be loved for who we actually are, not for how well we perform or please others. Therapy offers space for that kind of truth. A space where you don’t have to hold it all together, where we can speak openly about the things we usually hide. And from that place of authenticity, connection, and compassion, something begins to change.
