From Mackenzie:
"I strongly believe that people already have the tools and capabilities they need to work through life’s challenges, and they sometimes just need a little help and guidance along the way. I am excited to provide that guidance as I work with you to manage mental health, better your relationships, and find joy in life again. I am passionate about working with couples and adults and am looking forward to providing a safe space for you to find peace and healing. I value warmth and laughter and love bringing that into the therapy space. I am committed to making the therapy space a safe and inviting space for you. I can't wait to meet you!"

is the daily practice of letting go who we think we're supposed to be and embrace who we're

becoming

How can

help?

Psychotherapy works by creating a trusting therapeutic relationship, identifying problematic thoughts, and teaching tools to shift those thoughts and change problematic behaviors. Therapy also creates an environment where safe, healing, and connecting relationships between family members can take place. A good therapist will help you feel less overwhelmed, less alone, and more empowered in your life. Many people report feeling more hopeful even after just one session.

Teen therapy for anxiety + depression

1 in 4 adolescents experience mental disorders that result in severe impairment.

Living in this fast paced world full of comparison and social media, pandemics and unknowns, peer pressure and high expectations, it's no wonder that so many teenagers are struggling. As a parent it can be hard to know if it's normal teenage moodiness or if your teen is struggling with something above and beyond normal teenage stress. Do you know the signs and how to help your teen if they are struggling with their mental health?
