More about Michaela
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and HSPP with 15 years of experience providing therapy to families and individuals across the lifespan. I currently work with adults and adolescents navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, difficult relationships, emotional burnout, and recurring patterns that may trace back to childhood experiences, family dynamics, or unresolved past experiences.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you are used to carrying things alone or feeling like you have to keep functioning no matter how overwhelmed you are.
Many of my clients describe feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, overly responsible for others, or trapped in cycles of conflict, shame, avoidance, or self-doubt. Therapy can help you better understand these patterns while also building practical tools to navigate emotions, boundaries, communication, relationships, and everyday stress.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and integrates evidence-based practices with deeper relational and insight-oriented work. I strive to create a space that is nonjudgmental, supportive, and authentic, where clients can safely explore difficult experiences, deepen self-understanding, and develop meaningful strategies for change.
You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin wherever you are right now and work together toward building a life that feels more grounded, connected, and fulfilling on your own terms.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
