My name is Michaela (she/they). I am a psychotherapist in Washington, DC.
I work at the intersection of neurodivergence, chronic illness, and queer identity.
Building a relationship with you matters to me! We can talk about your latest mending project, biking the C&O Canal, starting a new video game, or the show finale that made you cry. Get the idea? There’s space for all parts of you in our work together.
Individual therapy for adults (18+)
Autism, ADHD, AuDHD, OCD, etc.
Navigating the impact of ongoing health challenges
Stress and burnout related to work, school, or life transitions
Managing mood, overwhelm, and inner criticism
Exploring gender and sexuality; expression, and affirmation
My approach is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
I work from a values-based perspective, tailoring therapy to your unique goals and needs. Sessions will look different from client to client, depending on what feels most meaningful and effective for you
I am a neurodiversity-affirming provider, and queer celebratory
Currently offering 50 minute individual sessions. My rate is $180/session
Sessions are fully virtual, with more news about a physical location coming in 2026
I am an out-of-network provider, which gives us more flexibility and privacy around your care
I have a number of sliding scale spots available on my caseload at any given time, please reach out if cost is a barrier
I offer a 15 minute screening call for anyone interested in potentially working together, at no cost
