Mackenzie earned both her bachelor’s degree in Psychology and her master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Southeast Missouri State University, along with a minor in Autism Studies. She has experience working with clients navigating life transitions, minority and identity-related struggles, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, emotional and mood dysregulation, acute and complex trauma, family conflict, and relationship challenges. Her therapeutic approach draws from person-centered, relational-cultural, and somatic frameworks. With this approach she honors both the mind and body in the healing process. She views therapy as a collaborative journey, where clients are the experts of their own lives, and she serves as a supportive guide in helping them reconnect with their inner voice and sense of wholeness.
