About Mikayla
Life transitions and uncertainty don't discriminate. Having support during those moments can be the turning point between resilience and crisis — and providing that space brings me real joy. With complex trauma, the work is patient and unhurried: shame, guilt, and forgiveness aren't linear, and I consider it an honor to walk alongside clients as they build something meaningful in the aftermath.

Therapeutic Style
Three words: compassionate, nurturing, accountable. Sessions are collaborative and conversational, with a strong psychoeducational backbone. When something gets stuck, my instinct is to reframe. I regularly assign between-session work because change happens in the days between, not just in the hour.
Communities I Serve
Age groups: Young adults (18–25), Adults (26–40), Midlife adults (41–60), Older adults (60+).
In Mikayla's Words
"Every day is a new day to become who you desire to be. The outcomes are up to you."
Something I say a lot in session: "Life is about progression, not perfection."
Outside of therapy: event planning, and spending time with my son — more than anything.
Before Your First Session
Opening up takes courage, and trusting someone with your story isn't easy. You deserve a place where you can be fully yourself — heard, respected, and supported, regardless of what you bring with you. That's the work I've made my own.
