My name is Michaela (she/they). I am a therapist in Washington, DC, working at the intersection of neurodivergence (autism, ADHD, AuDHD, OCD), chronic illness, and queer identity.
Many of my clients are on a lifelong journey of understanding themselves, their needs, limits, and personal identities. Together, we explore what you like, what you don’t, and how to live more in alignment with the things that matter to you.
I work with folks who often have trauma histories. Many of my clients live with the constant, looming risk of total burnout.
Building a relationship with you is important to me! I like to bring humor and a bit of tomfoolery into my work. We might 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 room for all parts and every version of you in our work together.
