Introduction

Real. Compassionate. Grounded. Here to help you thrive. Hi, I’m Mickaela—and I’m so glad you’re here. I know reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I want you to know: that feeling is valid. My approach to therapy is real, relational, and rooted in the belief that everyone deserves a space to feel seen, heard, and supported. With nearly a decade in the helping profession, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside children, teens, adults, and families through life’s most difficult—and most meaningful—moments. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, and I offer individual, couples, and family therapy for clients ages 6 and up. I also provide EMDR and other evidence-based approaches, always tailored to your unique needs. I work with people who carry heavy stories and often put others first—first responders, trauma survivors, deep feelers, and caretakers. Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of a critical incident, chronic stress, or the invisible wounds of trauma, I offer a space where you don’t have to explain everything. You can just be. Clients often describe me as calm, authentic, and easy to talk to. I’m not a blank slate—I show up as a real human in the room with you. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for something to shift, I’m here to help you move from surviving to thriving.
