My goal as a mental health professional is to create an empathetic and nurturing space for clients. I embrace clients of all ages, from children and adolescents, to adults, families, and couples, with an open and inviting approach. I prioritize the therapeutic alliance by building a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship, where clients feel seen, heard, and valued for who they are. During our time together, we will explore all areas of wellness that can be harnessed to create a positive change. I strive to collaborate with my clients to form a personalized treatment plan that resonates with their individual and family needs. My practice is grounded in a solution-focused and person-centered framework that will help clients freely explore their thoughts, feelings, and aspirations. I also work with a systemic lens, acknowledging the role that family and community systems play in your life. I see you, the client, as the expert of your own life, and I am here to support and empower you as we co-create a path towards positive change and growth. Whether you are seeking healing, growth, improved communication within your family or relationship, or simply looking for support to overcome life’s challenges, I am dedicated to walking alongside you. Let’s embark on this empowering journey together!

I think Michalena is the best therapist I have ever had. She is wise, knowledgeable, encouraging, and curious. She asks good questions and prompts me to think differently about deeply embedded negative though patterns. I always walk away from our sessions with new tools and action steps.
