Sometimes we all need a little help— whether you’re just curious and wanting to learn more about yourself, feeling stuck, or simply seeking relief. Micaela creates a therapeutic environment where others feel safe to explore certain barriers, unburden themselves, seek growth, or create fulfilling lives laden with meaning, purpose, and belonging.
THE METHOD
-
FOCUS
It all starts with you— learning about your past, your present, or where you want to be in your future.
-
REFLECT
Then, we take a deeper look— consider the impact, identify familiar patterns or feelings, take a step outside ourselves to consider additional perspectives or ways of looking at it, etc.
-
Refine
The last step is learning what to do with it— how to show up differently, redefine it, or deal with it. Think of it like new normal or new you!
My style is warm and empathetic, yet refreshingly direct
I’ll challenge you to shift perspectives and offer candid reflections, all tempered by genuine care and a playful touch. We’ll tap into your unique strengths and life experiences as our foundation, while weaving in client‑tailored coping skills—grounding practices, expressive writing, fresh ways of seeing—that you can lean on between sessions.
Drawing from an integrative, culturally sensitive, and client‑centered toolkit, I adapt evidence‑based approaches to fit your goals and values. I work primarily with older teens, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, identity questions, low self‑esteem, major life transitions, or a history of trauma. My specializations include grief, Complex PTSD, identity development, and young adult women’s issues—and I also provide thorough testing and evaluation to map your cognitive and emotional landscape.
If you’re ready to explore new angles on your story, welcome honest feedback, and co‑create a path toward lasting growth, let’s connect and start shaping your next chapter together.
