I'm Michaela, impresario of life
Psychotherapist, best selling author & top iTunes podcast host
Who am I, and how can I help you?
As Carl Jung said, "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who we truly are."
ME: I'm an ever-learner who grew up in the rural Sierra Nevadas without running water or electricity. I believe the key to living a happy life, is learning how to speak your truth with grace and live a courageous life of authenticity. This requires checking in with yourself, often, and exploring old patterns that aren’t serving you, tapping into grit and resiliency and having a growth-oriented mindset.
I'm an avid adventurer, having traveled to 20+ countries, and an endless horizon lover. I'm a licensed tailwheel pilot who flies a 1947 Piper SuperCruiser aptly named Poptart, you can find her on social media. It is exhilarating, terrifying, and exciting all at once, but I feel incredibly empowered experiencing a different perspective on life. I also homeschool my son which has been a fun new adventure for our whole family. In my spare time (haha), you’ll find me hiking, gardening, spinning on my pottery, or reading. I live with my family and practice sustaining with a homestead full of furred and feathered creatures in Northern California.
YOU: Are you tired of living a lukewarm life? Are you wanting to be heard, seen and validated? Do you want to improve communication and boundaries in your relationships? As a psychotherapist and life coach, my approach is collaborative, together we'll help you gain the internal clarity you need to live your best life. I believe a story heard is the path to healing.
75% of my caseload is couples... it's a fun and interesting role as a therapist to work with the unique personalities and things that come up in the couples dynamic. I enjoy helping my couples begin to see the passion come back into their relationship, and using newly learned tools for communication. As an on-staff therapist at the Couples Institute (Bay Area), I specialize in helping couples using the proven Developmental Method for counseling.
I offer telehealth and in-person sessions. Announcements for upcoming events (workshops, book signings) are made exclusively via email, sign up for the Inspiring Prompts to ensure you get the most up-to-date info. These events are for people who are looking to take their self-development to a new level.
