Therapy for Anxiety, Trauma, Adult ADHD, and Relationship Problems

Hi! I'm Mikayla, a therapist and Registered Social Worker.

I help adults who grew up feeling criticized or unseen reclaim their lives by overcoming emotional overwhelm, self-criticism, and self-doubt so they can build healthier relationships with those they love and feel at home within themselves.

 

My approach is relational, compassionate, and rooted in the understanding that healing happens in connection.

You have landed in the right place if:
 

  • You grew up in an environment where love felt unpredictable, your emotions weren’t welcomed, or you had to become the responsible one far too early
     

  • Maybe you constantly question whether you’re “good enough,” struggle to trust yourself, or find yourself overthinking, or fearing rejection.
     

  • You may feel anxious in relationships, avoid conflict, or repeatedly find yourself in unhealthy relationship patterns despite wanting something different.
     

  • You may be struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or difficulty feeling emotionally close to others, therapy can provide a space where you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Welcome. I am so glad
you are here.
