Have you hit a wall with your mental health? Are you tired of talking in circles with a therapist who doesn't understand you? My name is Mikayla, and I've lived in and around DC for over 22 years. I provide holistic therapy for individuals and couples, with and without ketamine. My primary areas of focus are harm reduction-based therapy for people who use drugs, PTSD/trauma, and mood disorders. I also work with couples struggling to resolve & repair conflict, including those in non-monogamous relationships. I hold current licenses in MD, DC, and VA. - Sanctuary Holistic Psychotherapy & Ketamine Therapy
Our mental and physical health are inseparable, but stress and trauma fragment our sense of self, experiences, and memories. I help clients re-integrate their mind-body systems by weaving many perspectives - embodied mindfulness, liberation psychology, somatics, trauma-informed care, polyvagal theory, education, harm reduction, and relational therapy.
I love working with people who feel frustrated with conventional approaches and are ready to try something new. Above all, I believe you have the capacity to heal. My role is to support a safe process, maintain an optimal environment, ask the right questions, and to provide guidance when asked. If you think we might be a good fit, please reach out!

I primarily focus on mood disorders, traumatic stress, and substance use concerns. I draw from a range of approaches including harm reduction psychotherapy, mindful self compassion, and liberation psychology. Most of my clients find relief from feeling stuck in challenging moods and counterproductive coping skills while gaining self-compassion, motivation, and ease.
