About me

Difficult experiences are something that we as humans all go through as we progress through life. Depression, severe stress, anxiety, life transitions, career struggles, relational issues, divorce, domestic abuse, grief/loss, and trauma are just a few of life’s blows that come at us at any given time. If managing these life situations are too daunting, consider seeking counseling services.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience as a social work professional. I specialize in providing individual and family counseling services with having worked with populations such as: military families and veterans, domestic violence survivors, adolescent populations in their school setting, hospice patients and their families as a bereavement counselor.

When working with clients, I like to utilize a non-judgmental approach and work to meet clients where they are in their life’s journey. In today’s society where there are messages of how we should look, how we should live or what success looks like, I off a safe place for my clients to discover their authentic self through the use of theocratical approaches, talk therapy and educational materials.

McKenzie is wonderful, wise, steady, and kind. I was supported by her during some really intense personal transitions and I always left our sessions feel clear, capable, relaxed, and ready for what was next. I can't recommend her enough if you are lucky enough to work with her!

McKenzie has been a great help to me. She helped me to realize what I needed to work on, and work through to get to a better place. Her help went beyond our calls, as she sent me tools in between our sessions to keep me focused on how to help myself. I would strongly recommend McKenzie, she has been amazing!

Mackenzie has been great. I have found our sessions to be extremely helpful and look forward to our next sessions. She listens carefully and frequently asks to revisit things I have said in conversation to understand better or get more information on a topic I might have otherwise overlooked as important. I have recommended better help to family and look forward to continuing!

McKenzie is great! Super helpful in asking challenging questions, reviews previous weeks conversions and offers guidance/direction on what to think about for the next week.
