Free 15-Minute Intro Consultation: Counseling is a professional relationship, and it’s important that we genuinely “click” for the work to be effective. With more than 20 years of private practice experience, I take an active, modern approach to therapy—one that goes beyond traditional talk and affirmation. By the time most people reach my office, they’re ready for change, and my goal is to help you (or both of you) break free from old, unhelpful patterns and begin creating real movement in your life. Together, we’ll work not just on insight, but on lasting changes that show up where it matters most—everyday life.
Dr. McKay is amazing... She tells you what you need to hear. She really helped me and my partner pull through a really difficult time when we were on the cusp of splitting up and helped us realize where we were both falling short with each other and with ourselves. The tools she gave us still help us work through conflict today - Facebook, December 2024
I also serve as the current Vice President on the Board of Directors for the Virginia Association of Mental Health Counselors (VAMHCA), where I’m deeply committed to advancing our field and supporting client well-being across Virginia.
