“Mental health is an integral part of our overall wellbeing and I am enthusiastic about helping others achieve life-long wellness. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a partnership; my goal is to meet you where you are and provide you with a safe, confidential, nonjudgmental, and friendly environment to express and process your thoughts and feelings. I hope that my collaborative, empathetic, and trauma-informed perspective will support you in achieving your goals. I will walk alongside you on your path to wellness and provide you with the tools you need to both determine and achieve your goals (and maybe have a good laugh or two along the way). Let’s figure this out together!"

From Mackenzie: 

“My personal and professional experience has given me a deep understanding of what it means to lose control and how to help you navigate that challenging feeling. I know what it is like to not be able to do certain things and feel different from everyone else in the room. This has enabled me to connect and empathize with those who are often marginalized. I know what it is like to be misunderstood and mislabeled, and I will continue to fight alongside you to increase understanding, help you release oppressive narratives, and reclaim your story. Having navigated multiple systems in my career, I have learned the importance of advocacy and amplifying your voice so that you are a partner in your treatment. That’s why I believe it is important to not just be accommodating, but to also be inclusive. All while incorporating a sense of mindful playfulness and creativity, and allowing space for lightness and humor in the therapeutic process!”
