Believing that therapy should be both effective and enjoyable, Mikayla incorporates client interests into sessions, making learning feel like play while still targeting meaningful goals. Her approach is collaborative and evidence-based, focusing on each individual’s unique strengths and needs. By creating a supportive and motivating environment, she empowers clients to build confidence and reach their full potential in communication and beyond.

In her free time, Mikayla enjoys dancing and exploring new languages.
