I’m Mackenzie and I’m a limited license social worker. My goal is to create a safe environment to navigate and explore your thoughts and experiences. I have experience working with women, children, and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and life’s hardships. With 7 years of experience in child welfare, I understand the challenges that can come with foster care and adoption. I have worked in the early childhood field and gained skills surrounding child development and parenting. I am passionate about helping pregnant and postpartum mothers recognize their strength and build their confidence.

I graduated with my MSW from Grand Valley State University and I received my BA in Family Community Services from Michigan State University.

Approach to Therapy:

People are the expert on their own lives and concerns. As we work together to identify concerns and set goals, our work may include discussing behaviors, emotions, or thought patterns which do not serve the end goal and learning skills to manage or change them. I have experience and training to provide clinical support while someone navigates the changes they would like to see in their life. Wherever the person is in their need, that is where we will start.

Often, I am with my clients in some of their worst moments, and they struggle to talk about these experiences. As a clinician, I am open to working with individuals with many concerns as well as partners and family members who support them. My hope is to help people through trauma, difficult emotions and worrisome behaviors to lead a healthy and fulfilling life. Individuals seeking therapy may not know where to start their journey but together we can begin to tell their story.

Know that you are not alone in your experiences, and that everyone needs someone to listen. My personal and professional experiences throughout my life have shaped me into an insightful, compassionate and non-judgmental individual, and I look forward to the opportunity to hear your story and join you on your journey of healing and growing.
