Mikensi is a graduate student at Capella University working toward her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Her counseling style is warm, collaborative, and direct. She draws from Person-Centered, Narrative, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) approaches to help clients explore their inner world with curiosity, compassion, and honesty.

She has experience supporting individuals through grief and loss, as well as those navigating anxiety, self-criticism, identity exploration, and relationship challenges.

Before pursuing counseling, Mikensi worked in documentary filmmaking, where she learned the power of stories—how the ones we carry can both protect us and hold us back. In therapy, she strives to create a space where clients can safely unpack those stories, understand the different parts of themselves, and move toward more authentic connection and self-trust.

For clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, she meets them exactly where they are and helps them start making sense of what’s underneath.

Her approach is trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, and somatic, integrating Person-Centered Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and ancestral perspectives to support healing and growth across generations. She is passionate about creating a collaborative, compassionate space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood.

Originally from Scotland, Sarah has lived in the U.S. for the past 10 years. Her own journey of immigration and belonging informs her sensitivity to identity, culture, and the many ways we seek connection. Her background includes hospice volunteering, death doula training, yoga instruction, and care work with individuals with Down syndrome and autism—experiences that have shaped her appreciation for the mind–body connection and the wisdom carried through our lineages.
