NEW Sep 2026 - You're a high achieving, people-pleasing woman who has checked the boxes, hit the goals, considers everybody's needs, and have slowly lost track of who you really are. You say yes when your body says no. You twist yourself into whatever the room needs and call it being "chill". You push through fatigue, never take a sick day, you have people in your life you love, but yet you lie awake wondering why you still feel so empty inside. Your inner critic is relentless. You've tried the self-help, you see your patterns, but your nervous system is stuck in fight-flight-freeze. You wonder: is this "anxiety", or is it just you?
Hi I'm Makayla, I know what it's like to tie your worth to achievement, approval, and how well you hold it together under pressure. After over a decade of working in a totally different field, I became a therapist to help high-achieving, anxious women do what I had to learn the hard way - stop seeking external validation and start TRULY living.
My approach is as unique as my clients. There will be times when we spend more time processing past events and family history, and times when it makes more sense to focus on creating the life you dream of. Either way, issues that need to be resolved will show up in our work together, and we will address them as they do. Send me an email for a free consult!
