Individual Therapy in San Francisco and Virtually Throughout California

Practical and holistic therapy to help you understand yourself, manage stress, and make meaningful change.


Individual therapy gives you a focused space to explore what's not working and why. We'll clarify patterns in your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, and build practical tools to shift them. I’ll help you tune into your body’s cues, regulate intense emotions, and identify core beliefs that may be holding you back. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of what you need, therapy helps you slow down, hear yourself clearly, and make choices that align with your values. Over time, sessions help you feel more stable, connected, and in charge of your life.

Many of my clients struggle with:

Chronic Stress
You feel constantly on edge, tired, and unable to truly rest—even during downtime—because demands never stop.

Anxiety & Overthinking:
Your mind races with what-ifs, comparisons, or self-doubt, making it hard to show up how you want to and trust your choices.

Burnout & Dissociation
You’re exhausted, disconnected from joy or energy, and feel numb or detached from yourself.

Life Transitions
A breakup, move, job change, or loss has unraveled your sense of footing, and you’re trying to regroup.

Workplace Stress and Disconnection
You feel drained, uninspired, or caught in unhealthy dynamics that make it hard to focus, contribute, or enjoy the work you do.

Low Self-Worth
You doubt your value, feel like you don’t belong or matter, and struggle to stand in your own worth.

Grief and Loss
You feel weighed down by sadness and unsure how to move forward or make sense of life after what’s changed.

Identity & Belonging
You feel different, out of place, or unsettled, and want to feel more grounded in who you are and where you fit.

Emotional Reactivity
You find yourself shutting down, erupting, or getting tangled in emotion in ways that surprise or overwhelm you.

Loneliness or Missing Community
You feel unseen or disconnected—longing for a sense of belonging or a place to be known.

People seek support for many different reasons. If you’re struggling with any of these common challenges, or are experiencing something else that you’d like support with, please reach out and set up a complimentary discovery call.

Individual Therapy FAQs

Hi, I’m Mikayla.

After nearly a decade working as an Industrial-Organizational Psychologist at large tech companies, I quit my job to pursue my Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.

I specialize in Somatic Psychotherapy, but each session will look different depending on a client's unique needs. I offer virtual and in-person sessions for individuals and couples at The Marina Counseling Center in San Francisco.
