Family Therapist
Licensed Professional Counselor
Hi! My name is Micaela. I am a therapist, coach, and educator all wrapped in one. I help youth and families achieve balance, reach their potential, and live out their individual purposes.
I have known since I was a wee high schooler that I was going to be a counselor. I hold a Master's of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, as well as, a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Psychology with a Minor in Human Services.
Fitness and sports have always played a role in my life. I am a certified group fitness barre instructor, I have coached volleyball, I have, dabbled in personal training, and taught private lessons in multiple sports. I participated in volleyball, basketball, gymnastics, soccer, and cheer/drill team over the years. I competed in track most of my upbringing and went on to compete at the Division I collegiate level. Due to knee and back injuries, I had to make the tough decision to retired after my first season.
​
Despite my belief at the time, my story did not stop there. I was forced to make a change. I overcame this discomfort and many other challenges along the way while obtaining both my undergraduates and masters degree. Because life is full of obstacles, naturally I continued to experience discomfort post-grad that warranted change. This discomfort birthed a deep understanding for creating effortless structure, cultivating mental toughness, intentional contentment, freedom from fear of failure, and balanced wellness.
​
So what now?
Now I get to help kiddos, teens, emerging adults, and families experience peace within their family system. You can expect you and the whole family to experience intentional contentment, cultivate mental toughness, balanced wellness, freedom from fear of failure, and build structure effortlessly.
My background and education in behavioral health, individual therapy, sports, play therapy, coaching, group therapy, and family systems is the exact trauma informed approach your family needs to repair the broken relationships within.
​
As the expert of your own family system, we will collaborate to build, or rebuild the foundation for an intentionally content life. I welcome your family with non-judgement, encouragement, & comfort. Together, we will find the resiliency you and your family have been looking for.
