Mikayla is a Limited License Professional Counselor who works with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Oakland University and her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University in 2025.

​

She brings warmth, authenticity, and compassion into every session and is passionate about supporting individuals and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting challenges. Mikayla especially enjoys helping parents better understand their children while strengthening emotional connections within the family.

 

Mikayla's approach includes evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and play-based techniques. Mikayla’s style is genuine, calming, and collaborative. She creates a safe space where clients can be honest—even when emotions feel overwhelming—and believes therapy should always move at the client’s pace.

 

Mikayla believes meaningful change begins when people feel safe, heard, and understood, and she is intentional about building trusting relationships where clients feel supported rather than judged. She finds the greatest reward in witnessing growth—seeing clients gain confidence, deepen self-awareness, and learn to trust their emotions—and considers it a true privilege to walk alongside them as they heal and move toward becoming their healthiest selves. In her work, Mikayla incorporates mindfulness, emotional regulation strategies, and creative or play-based interventions, particularly with children and adolescents, always tailoring her approach to meet each client where they are.
