Michaela is a licensed mental health counsellor practising in New York City. She blends thoughtful exploration of past experiences (Psychodynamic) with actionable tools (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), helping clients understand and shift emotional patterns that no longer serve them. Taking a compassionate and, at times, confrontational approach to therapy, she believes meaningful insight can be gained in the internal experiences we’ve yet to reveal to ourselves. Her style is warm, present, and nonjudgmental, and she strives to create a space where clients feel safe to grow, reflect, and heal.

Michaela also brings somatic mindfulness into her work, encouraging clients to listen to their bodies as a path to healing. By cultivating awareness of physical sensations, clients can uncover hidden emotional patterns, calm the nervous system, and strengthen the mind-body connection.
