Hi there, I'm Mikayla! I believe everyone deserves a safe, supportive space to navigate life's challenges and reconnect with their strengths. Whether you're facing a major life transition, navigating pregnancy, postpartum, or NICU life, struggling with anxiety, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to face it alone. My focus Are you a busy college student trying to navigate the stress? A new parent trying to balance your new identify with your old life? Have a baby in the NICU? Someone wanting to break free from a cycle of shame, self-doubt or people pleasing? I'm honored to walk alongside you on this journey towards healing and growth. My approach I believe therapy should feel like a safe, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. My approach is warm, authentic, collaborative, and rooted in helping clients feel truly seen and understood. My communication style My communication style is compassionate, honest, and encouraging. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a provider stems from a passion for supporting others through life’s most vulnerable moments. My background includes residential treatment, working with foster families, and hospital-based care, where I had the privilege of supporting new parents, individuals facing medical diagnoses, and navigating complex grief in the ICU. My goals for you My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and empowered as we work together toward healing and growth. My role is to act as your biggest cheerleader all the while helping to add practical tools you can access and utilize along the way. Our first session During our first session, we will start to discuss what brings you to therapy. I value collaboration and believe therapy works best when we work together to identify your goals and create a plan that feels realistic and empowering for you. There is no pressure to have everything figured out — the first step is simply showing up.
