I’m Mikayla, and my goal as your therapist is to create a space that is warm, affirming, and compassionate — a place where you can freely explore your authentic self, dive into the root causes of your concerns, and develop paths toward reaching your goals.

Within us there can be pockets of hurt, resentment, fear, and grief. These vulnerable parts coexist uneasily with another side — the one determined to keep moving forward. Therapy can act as a bridge, carefully navigating between these opposing sides. By acknowledging these experiences, we can gradually move forward with more clarity and peace. My goal as your therapist is to create a space that is warm, affirming, and compassionate — a place where you can freely explore your authentic self, dive into the root causes of your suffering, and develop insight into what you are truly searching for.

My approach is trauma-informed and attachment-based where the unique elements of each individual’s experience is a central focus. Your story is made up of many complexities that we will uncover and process as we work toward your goals. We can explore a variety of therapeutic approaches depending on your needs. Additionally, I can incorporate EMDR, a technique that targets both big and small past traumas. I have experience treating anxiety, depression, shame and low self esteem, traumas of all kinds, and relationship difficulties.

All of this to say — bring your complex emotions and experiences, and we will work through them together. I work with the belief that therapy is about creating space to sit with emotions and really process how our past experiences impact the here and now. This is different for each individual, and we will navigate this process together. I am truly honored when a client decides to trust me in joining them on their therapeutic journey. All are welcome and my practice is a safe, affirming space for all individuals.
