Hello, I'm Michaela

Founder of Sage Oak Therapy

My personal journey deeply influences how I support others. Exploring identity, self-awareness, and personal growth is at the heart of my work. As a young adult, I believed I had life all mapped out, but as challenges came my way, I found myself disconnected from who I truly was.

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming and confusing. I'm here to offer understanding and guidance tailored to your unique experiences and goals.

Together, we'll identify blind spots and work toward meaningful change that improves your well-being and helps you live your fullest life.
