Making sure you have a personalized, meaningful experience in therapy is very important to me. Let's find your voice and let's help you into a better spot so you can feel good about life. I have been in practice since 2003 working across many different settings. Through our initial discussions we will explore what may be underlying your current concerns and customize therapy so that your experience is meaningful. If you've ever felt like your previous therapists "just sat there and nodded", you won't have that experience here. I ask lots of questions and will keep you engaged throughout our time together.

The better you know yourself, the better your quality of life becomes.

I’m a warm, grounded, bilingual therapist (English/Spanish) who helps adults slow down, understand their inner world, and reconnect with clarity during times of change. My work centers on compassion rather than judgment, and I believe therapy should feel both human and hopeful.

I support clients through major life transitions, stress, relationship shifts, cultural identity concerns, grief, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply curious about your next chapter, I offer a space to reflect, realign, and regain a sense of possibility.

Welcome. My goal is to provide support, guidance, and encouragement in helping you to recognize what you already know about yourself...you willingness to try. In this world, with so many changes and stressors, it can be a good starting point.

My focus is in anxiety, life transitions, grief, and depression.

I was drawn into this profession from an early age, always curious about people, what they do, how they think, how they go about solving problems or getting stuck in them. Even when we do things well, we stumble over life's hurdles. It can feel overwhelming trying to find a way out or up or back. A listening heart and a supportive hand can be a big help finding our way again. With over 40 years of experience, I have worked with a wide range of people and concerns.

Life can bring moments that feel heavy, confusing, or overwhelming—whether from anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, or loss of direction. You may feel stuck or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore what’s holding you back and create a path toward emotional clarity, healing, and growth. Together, we’ll uncover the “why” behind your challenges and help you move toward a calmer, more balanced, and empowered version of yourself.

Hello! I have had the honor of working with folks struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief as well as many other difficult issues for over 20 years. I believe healing happens when we honor the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. My work is grounded in holistic and trauma-informed approaches that recognize each individual’s innate capacity for healing. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment during each session. My style is collaborative and interactive and I often pull from a variety of techniques and modalities.

Want to make the most of your life, but something keeps getting in the way?

I work with thoughtful, high-energy adults who feel held back by patterns they can’t seem to break—whether that’s anxiety, addiction, trauma, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, depression, or persistent overthinking. Stop letting your lizard brain run the show.

Together, we’ll identify the emotional and behavioral patterns that no longer serve you, understand where they came from, and develop practical ways to move forward. My goal is not simply symptom reduction, but helping you create a life that feels meaningful, connected, and fully your own.

Hi, I’m MaKenna. I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families.

I’ve worked across a range of settings—including schools, community mental health, and family systems—which has shaped my ability to understand people not just as individuals, but in the context of their relationships, environments, and life experiences.

I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, trauma, family stress, and life transitions. I also have a passion for supporting parents, caregivers, and individuals in high-responsibility roles, including first responders, healthcare professionals, and other high achieving professionals.

My work integrates evidence-based practices with nature-based and experiential approaches. I believe healing and growth happen best in environments where you feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported- and that’s what I strive to create in every session.
