I’m Mika, hello!

LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER  

Certified Imago Relationship Therapist

EMDR Trained

I bring my most genuine self into my sessions and believe that clients do their best to show up authentically as well.

I want you to show up just as you are- sad, angry, or perhaps unsure. I understand that struggling is a part of being human and more often than not, an internal restlessness or conflict with others is an opportunity for growth. I’m here to help you discover new ways of coping and to heal old wounds.

My Approach:

  • Mindfulness

  • Psychodynamic

  • EMDR for trauma

  • IMAGO Relationship Therapy

I use a relational and collaborative approach, focused in attachment work. I work with adults with various identities and have a special interest in working with the queer and LGBTIA community. I enjoy working with creatives, empaths, highly intuitive folks and people seeking connection though I welcome all individuals to my practice.
