Welcome to Release Counseling!

Do you ever feel like you are a shell of a person?

…Like you are empty inside or trying to fill a void?

…Like you don’t even know who YOU are?

I may be able to help you with that…

I’m Michela, a compassionate therapist dedicated to guiding you on your journey toward recovery and emotional well-being by helping you connect with a core sense of Self.

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Addictions Counselor, I help clients feel grounded, safe, and whole by reconnecting with their core sense of Self. Drawing from Polyvagal Theory, EMDR, and Dance/Movement Therapy, I guide clients to understand their nervous system, release negative core beliefs, and embody a deeper sense of self-awareness and strength. Even when we can't control the outside world, we can learn to feel secure within ourselves.

Whether you are dealing with the lasting effects of trauma, addiction, or mental health issues, I am here to support you with a safe, non-judgmental space where you can find relief from negative symptoms, rebuild a core sense of self, and begin to live the fulfilling life you deserve.
