Hi, it’s nice to meet you–

I’m Mica.

I believe healing happens through authentic connection, emotional safety, and understanding the ways our nervous systems learned to survive.

What Guides My Work

Compassion

We will approach your experiences with curiosity, empathy, and care rather than shame or self-judgment.

Understanding

Together, we will explore the ways your past experiences, relationships, and survival strategies continue to shape your present.

Patience

Healing does not happen all at once. We will create space for meaningful change to unfold at a pace that feels sustainable and supportive.

Growth

Our work together is intended to support not only healing, but a deeper sense of connection, clarity, and lasting change in your daily life.

You’ve mastered functioning. Now it’s time to feel connected again.

Let’s do this together.

I believe therapy should feel grounded, collaborative, and emotionally safe enough for meaningful change to happen.

Therapy is not about “fixing” who you are. Many of the patterns that bring people into therapy began as ways to cope, protect themselves, or survive overwhelming experiences.

My role is to help you better understand those patterns with compassion rather than shame, while creating space for meaningful and lasting change to happen.

Together, our work will be collaborative, intentional, and tailored to your unique experiences, goals, and nervous system. Whether you feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, burned out, anxious, or uncertain where to begin, therapy can become a space where you no longer have to navigate everything alone.

Who I Often Work With

Many of the clients I work with are highly capable people who are used to carrying a great deal internally while continuing to over-function externally.

Regardless of your experiences, therapy can become a space where you no longer have to navigate everything alone.

  • professionals and high achievers

  • perfectionists and over-functioners

  • graduate students and academics

  • helping professionals and caregivers

  • first responders and military members

  • adults navigating trauma, burnout, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion

  • people who feel disconnected from themselves despite appearing “fine” from the outside

Survival Mode

Adults who feel emotionally overwhelmed, constantly “on,” or unable to fully rest.

Perfectionism & Burnout

High-achievers exhausted by pressure, over-functioning, and chronic self-expectation.

Trauma & Relationships

Those navigating painful experiences, emotional disconnection, or patterns rooted in survival.

Outside of my practice, I’m often hiking through the mountains of Colorado, traveling the world, getting lost in a fantasy novel, and spending time with my family. I’m a mother, a daughter, and a big sister.

I’m also on my own journey alongside yours— most therapists are in therapy themselves, and I am no exception.

The idea behind ‘renewed connections therapy’ came from the idea that healing happens through connection. In EMDR, healing involves creating new neural connections, or neural networks, that help the brain process and integrate difficult experiences. Healing from trauma often involves reconnecting with yourself, others, and creating new ways to relate to the world around you. The name was aiming to connect all three: renewed neural connections, renewed connection with self, renewed connection with others.
