Welcome. I am so glad
you are here.

About

Hi! I'm Mikayla.

I am passionate about helping clients feel seen, heard, safe, and not alone in their suffering. I hold the belief that we are not meant to suffer alone and therapeutic relationship itself is central to the healing process.

 

I am here to help carry the weight of what you’re holding so that whatever you’re facing can feel a little more bearable. My approach is relational, compassionate, and rooted in the understanding that true healing happens in connection.

 

I work from a bottom-up perspective, which means we begin by slowing down and tuning into the inner landscape of your body—your sensations, emotions, and nervous system cues.

 

Our bodies carry so much wisdom, and by gently listening to them, we can uncover insights, process unresolved experiences, and begin to shift long-standing patterns. This body-centered awareness can deepen the relationship you have with yourself and others, and help you move toward a state of calm, curiosity, authenticity, and relief.
