Support you. Push you. Help you get stronger.
Hi, I’m Mikaela, a licensed therapist providing telehealth therapy for teens and young adults in Florida and Nebraska. I specialize in trauma therapy, emotional regulation, and substance use support. I also have experience working with adolescents involved in the juvenile justice system and understand the unique challenges they face.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like your thoughts are constantly working against you, you’re not alone. Many teens and young adults struggle to manage intense emotions or cope with difficult experiences. Therapy can help you better understand what’s happening and learn practical coping skills that work in everyday life.
My approach is honest, straightforward, and human. We focus on what’s really going on beneath the surface while developing tools to manage stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use. The goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life.
My Counseling Approach
I work with adolescents and young adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own. If you’ve ever felt like no one truly understands what you’re going through, therapy can be a place where you feel heard and supported.
My approach is direct, honest, and collaborative. Sessions are professional but comfortable, creating a space where you can speak openly without judgment. You don’t have to filter your thoughts or present a “perfect” version of yourself. Therapy is a space for real conversations and meaningful progress.
Together, we focus on practical, evidence-based strategies to help you:
Manage anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress
Build coping skills that work in everyday life
Navigate substance use and recovery with support and accountability
Break unhealthy patterns and develop more sustainable habits
Improve self-awareness and emotional regulation
Each session is tailored to your needs and goals. I use trauma-informed approaches and skill-based strategies to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life. Therapy is not about quick fixes it’s about building resilience and creating lasting change.
