Black and African American Therapists in Sacramento, CA
At work, you’re thriving! You can handle anything that comes your way. Whenever there’s a problem, you’re the one who fixes it. It’s your show and you’re killing it. So why do you feel so unfulfilled? On paper, you’re successful – making your family proud. But inside, something is still missing. A longing emptiness sits deep in the pit of your stomach. You’ve always worked so hard to pursue goals “at any cost,” but you’ve begun to realize that the cost was your well-being. All of your relationships seem to be out of obligation. You never have any time to care for yourself...Unless something changes, things will only get worse...

There are no easy fixes to complex problems. Therapy is a place for you, a safe space to connect, heal, release, receive support, and share things that have never been shared. The psychological theories and counseling skills from graduate school and (EFCT trainings) helped a lot, but my own life experience has also been an important source of learning. I am in this role to help and support you with whatever has been holding you back. Whether that is relationship challenges, career stress, parenting, or childhood trauma, we will explore it and find a path forward together.

Hi, I’m Mackenzie. I have a background in psychology and social work and am currently pursuing my doctorate in clinical psychology. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, identity concerns, anger, and major life transitions. I have a strong focus on men’s mental health and often work with men who feel pressure to “figure it out on their own,” have a hard time opening up, or aren’t used to talking about what they’re experiencing. At the same time, I work with clients of all backgrounds and strive to meet each person where they’re at.

Finding the right therapist is often the most difficult step in the healing journey. It requires finding a balance between someone who deeply understands the science of the mind and someone who genuinely cares about the person sitting across from them. With 13 years of clinical practice, I have dedicated my career to being that balance for my clients.

For the past 15 years, I have worked with many different kinds of people, in many walks of life. But, the main struggles that have always hit home for me have been women who feel like they have to or should be all things to everyone and everything. There is so much heaviness, tension, and angst inside of you when you operate in what I call, "the shoulds". I assist women in releasing perfectionism, stress, and challenging self-defeating narratives. Go ahead and let some of these expectations go, ladies!

Mental health often dictates a person’s overall well-being. Our perception of ourselves, our families, community and world allow us to experience the gift of life in its entirety or we can find ourselves struggling and limiting what life has to offer. Being a psychologist allows me to help people understand themselves and to create the best version of themselves; which often leads to good experiences and a fulfilling lifestyle. I appreciate the opportunity to connect with people and explore who they are and what they want out of life.

Therapy is a powerful way to care for ourselves—but it doesn’t look the same for everyone. It should be flexible and responsive to your unique situation. Sometimes it’s brief and solution-focused; other times, it’s a longer journey to work through deeper, long-standing challenges. In my office, you’ll find space for both.
