Hello, I’m Mikaela. As a therapist, my focus is on creating a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. I specialize in working with adults over 18, both individuals and couples. I utilize a humanistic and strength-based approach, upholding a fundamental belief in the human capacity for healing and growth. My approach is eclectic, drawing upon multiple modalities to address clients’ needs. No matter the difficulty, therapy can help interrupt unhelpful patterns and support desired changes.
In individual therapy, my approach centers around helping you navigate the emotional complexities of life and heal from past experiences. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other challenges, I’m here to support you. Through a strong therapeutic relationship, we’ll work together to identify your goals and develop a plan to help you achieve them.
In couples therapy, my approach centers around helping you and your partner identify the patterns that may be contributing to conflict or disconnection in your relationship. Together, we’ll work to build a foundation of trust and understanding, so you can communicate more effectively and deepen your emotional connection. I believe that all relationships have their own unique strengths and challenges, and my goal is to help you build on those strengths while addressing the challenges in a compassionate and non-judgmental way.
When I’m not working with clients, I prioritize self-care and balance in my personal life. I enjoy being outside, whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, hiking, or paddle boarding. On a typical quiet day at home, you can find me enjoying crochet to unwind and tap into my creative side or playing video games as a way to escape from the stresses of the day. Ultimately, I believe that self-care is about finding what brings you joy and recharging your batteries in a way that works for you.
My dog’s name is Fern and she is the Mini Aussie in the featured photo. She loves being a hooligan on adventures as much as being a potato in bed. She keeps me company in my home office and will make the occasional cameo.
My goal is to provide you with a safe and supportive space where you can work through your challenges and emerge feeling stronger and more resilient, whether that’s as an individual or as a couple. If you’re ready to take the next step in your journey towards healing and growth, I’m here to walk with you.
