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.

Have you been waiting and longing for a deeper connection with your love? Studies show the average couple waits 6 years before seeking professional help for marital problems. Also, couples have the same arguments over and over again, they just sound different. Whether it's conflict about chores, or a loud disagreement about disciplining the kids, each partner tends to grab onto their perspective, dig their heels in the sand, and proceed to try to get their partner to see their side, unsuccessfully. Unresolved conflicts usually get brushed under the rug, until they resurface at the next disagreement. Are you ready to break the cycle?
