More About Mikaela
While in my Limited Too gaucho pants and Lisa Frank T-shirts, people much older than I would claim I was an “old soul”. Does a 10-year-old know what that means? No. Were they correct? I like to think I have grown and continue to shape myself along Carl Jung’s “wounded healer” archetype.
I’m a trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, anti-oppressive & anti-racist, kink positive, female-identifying therapist-in-training. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all in therapy and my clients deserve therapy that works for them and their needs. Through a trauma-informed lens of Acceptance & Commitment therapy, the Gottman Method, and the support of Strength-Based and Narrative work, I join my clients on their journey of discovery. Therapy is a gift of time for yourself and your relationship/s where we can work to increase connection, intimacy, and playfulness. It is a dream of mine to help clients thrive and claim the self-worth they deserve through the many stages of life.
I completed my bachelor’s degree in Fine Art and the University of Washington in 2018. I started my graduate work at Antioch University in 2018 in the Couples and Family Therapy program, and in 2020 joined the AASECT Certified Sex Therapy Certificate Program. I am also Gottman Level 1 Certified.
Outside my work as a therapist, I most enjoy spending time with my friends, my partner, and our animals. I love a cozy set of pajamas as well as a hike in the mountains and never turn down a good meal. I am also a caregiver for a young woman with ASD and cherish my time as part of their trusted chosen-family. Skincare, cooking, and nature walks are some of my favorite self-care practices, along with celebrating a good hair day.
