Michaela is a passionate Cognitive Behavioral therapist (which is the most effective, researched, and validated therapy to date). She will work with you to identify and change overly negative thinking and unhelpful behaviors that interfere with your mood, reaching your goals, or hampering interpersonal relationships. She works with those struggling with depression, anxiety, worry, phobias, stress, body image issues, performance anxiety, defiant behavior in children, relationship struggles, and work/school issues.
When working with Michaela, you can expect her to be warm, inviting, and positive, while providing treatment that is thoughtful, goal oriented, and based in highly effective techniques. She will teach you the skills needed to manage your emotions and enhance your life, ways to cope, develop assertive communication style, and improve how you relate to others.
