Hey there!
My name is Michaela, and I am honored to walk alongside you during this time. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida. I earned both my bachelor’s in Social Work and Master’s in Social Work from the University of South Florida with clinical coursework in individuals, couples, and family practice. I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings within the social work community including hospitals, churches, children's advocacy centers, and more. I believe that through both my personal challenges and my work experience in helping others walk through their own challenges, I have a unique lens to offer an empathetic perspective, helping clients handle life’s transitions and struggles with grace and confidence.
Life isn’t always fair, and often times we don’t have control over the things that happen to us. However, I believe that we do have control over how we respond and react to those things. Together, we will take a deeper look into understanding just how powerful the human brain is and work towards healing. I believe that God created us to live in community, but sometimes we get in our own way. Let’s get back to the way God intended for us to live one step at a time.
I like to have a compassionate and individualistic approach to helping my clients live a life with a deeper understanding and meaning. I am warm and friendly and I also love to keep things practical and realistic. I work with individuals struggling with adjustment issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder, cancer diagnosis, grief, sexual abuse, and relationship issues.
I use a variety of treatment modalities to help my clients, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Solution Focused modalities. I value the work that I do and am honored to work with my clients as I understand that reaching this point requires significant effort and vulnerability.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our son and our two dogs, Kitty and Shirley. I also enjoy cozying up with a good book, being out in nature, or making sourdough bread.
