WELCOMEMeet Michela
I believe that therapy can be an experience that feels refreshingly different. As a root cause focused therapist, I understand that doing the deep excavation can feel daunting but I aim to do so in a way that feels more palatable and at times, even playful. Blending humor, creativity, curiosity and gentle guidance, we will navigate the complexities of your inner world in a way that feels approachable and uplifting.
Clinically, my approach can be described as holistic, strengths-based, research driven and trauma informed, emphasizing the interconnectedness of mind and body. I also combine neuroscience, parts work and observation in an effort to create nuanced and connected sessions tailored to your unique needs and story. You’ll find that not only am I a witness but a participant on this journey towards self discovery.
Many of us have strayed from our inner child, along the way losing touch with our true desires and aspirations. My mission is to facilitate a process of coming home, shedding the should(s) and rediscovering what you genuinely want in life.
We will get to know and reconstruct familiar parts of yourself, often steeped in pain and programming, to allow room for growth and living more authentically. We will also develop insights and practical coping strategies to support you in navigating life’s inevitable ups and downs with more courage and confidence.
Therapy can be something you look forward to—a space where you can freely explore, heal, and transform. Together, we can create an experience that is not only effective but also enjoyable, empowering, and deeply meaningful.
Changing your story can change your life.
