Hello! :)
I am Mykayla, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. While I specialize in therapy with adolescent and teens, my clinical experience extends to all ages.
Are you ready for positive changes that bring more joy into your life? Perhaps you're navigating challenges with your child or teen? Life presents us with various stressors and transitions that can feel overwhelming to manage alone. My goal is to support you through these phases, helping you develop effective coping strategies and navigate barriers that hinder your personal growth and fulfillment.
As a therapist, I prioritize a client-centered approach. I firmly believe in tailoring treatment to meet your unique needs rather than adopting a 'one-size-fits-all' approach. Together, we will work to create a therapeutic alliance where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to explore your life transitions and relationship concerns.
Through our work together, my aim is to lighten the burden of challenges you face and guide you towards a more fulfilling and balanced life. Let's embark on this journey of growth and transformation together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
