About
She utilizes elements of person-centered, humanistic therapy, CBT, solution-focused therapy, and expressive arts. Mikayla focuses on exploring her clients' strengths, values, relationships, and emotions to help them discover who they want to be and how they want to get there. She has a special interest in working with children, aged 5 years and older, using play therapy. Play therapy empowers children to find their own healing and self-actualize in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Mikayla's approach is empathetic, nondirective, and compassionate, with a focus on pushing clients beyond their comfort zone to facilitate growth. She believes that therapy can be healing for anyone who puts in the work, regardless of their desired outcome or current emotional state. Mikayla's office is a safe space where clients can come as they are and receive unconditional acceptance.
