all about mackenzie
With a background working in the theater industry, Mackenzie is able to draw upon a unique blend of creative insight, presence, honesty, and groundedness that provides a stabilizing foundation for the work of self-discovery. Mackenzie’s personable nature breaks down the traditional barriers of clinical relationships, creating an atmosphere that feels less like a formal appointment and more like a sincere, human-to-human connection. Her combination of authenticity and inquisitiveness allows clients to exhale, knowing they are in a space where their truth will be met with unwavering respect and a genuine desire to explore their world alongside them.
In therapy with Mackenzie she creates a safe, judgement free space to explore all of your thoughts, feelings, needs, desires, and more. Mackenzie views emotions as sophisticated, built-in tools designed to tell you exactly what you need, and she helps clients listen to them rather than shy away from them. She believes vulnerability, authenticity, and honesty are your greatest strengths and catalysts for change. Mackenzie has a collaborative, humanistic approach and believes you are the expert of your life. She is here to listen, support, and help guide clients to positive and lasting change.
how she works
Mackenzie’s approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that positive, lasting change can occur. Her clinical style prioritizes authenticity, self-discovery, and radical honesty. Together Mackenzie and the client will focus on goal setting, making small changes that incur larger changes, listening to your inner needs, and authentic and grounded communication. Mackenzie draws upon EFT, Gottman, Psychodynamic, and Solution Focused theories to help clients achieve their goals, feel validated, and empower change. Mackenzie specializes in working with couples, families, siblings and individuals.
By blending her artistic intuition with a grounded, empathetic presence, she offers a partnership where clients are truly seen. Acknowledging that stepping into the unknown is terrifying, transitions can feel like losing your footing, and that making a lasting change is one of the hardest things a person can do, Mackenzie is here to validate that struggle, holding space for the "messy middle" of your journey while we equip you with the perspective and tools to move forward.
Mackenzie’s curiosity, honesty, and warmth creates a space where clients are able to self-explore in a judgement free environment. Clients will leave feeling heard, seen, understood.
