Meet Makayla
Therapy is a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, without pressure—just you. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel seen, heard, and valued. No matter what you’re carrying, this is a space for you to explore, process, and grow at your own pace.
I am led by Christian integration in my practice, which means my approach is rooted in faith, grace, and compassion. However, I deeply respect and honor each person’s unique journey, regardless of religious background. Whether faith is an important part of your healing or not, I am here to support you in the way that best serves you. Together, we will uncover the layers of your experiences, embrace all parts of you—both the ones you celebrate and the ones you struggle with—and move toward deeper self-acceptance. No matter your circumstances, you are worthy of care, connection, and growth.
My Background
As a first-generation college student and current graduate student, I have had the privilege of working with teens and adults facing high-level mental health challenges in non-profit organizations in underserved communities. My experience includes supporting individuals through complex emotions and life transitions. Having personally experienced the transformative power of therapy, I understand the impact of feeling truly seen and supported. This fuels my passion for creating a space where others can find healing, growth, and self-acceptance. My goal is to walk alongside my clients with empathy and care, helping them navigate their journey with resilience and hope.
Areas of Focus
I am here to support clients of all ages, including teens, young adults, couples, and those in different life stages, as they navigate life’s challenges. I am passionate about helping individuals who experience anxiety and depression, providing a safe space to develop coping strategies and find balance.
I am also dedicated to guiding clients in setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, working through parental struggles, and building a positive self-image. Additionally, I am here for those who have experienced "church hurt," helping them process their experiences and reconnect with their faith in a way that feels authentic and healing. No matter where you are in your journey, I strive to create a compassionate and supportive space for you to explore, heal, and grow.
Fun Facts About Makayla
Outside of the office, I love spending time with my husband, traveling to new places, and enjoying the beauty of nature. Crocheting and reading are some of my favorite ways to unwind, and I always feel most at peace when I’m near the water. Whether it’s the ocean, a lake, or a quiet riverside, being by the water brings me a sense of calm. I’m also still in the process of discovering new hobbies and interests, and I’m excited to see where my journey of exploration takes me.
