Mekenzie especially enjoys working with children and adolescents navigating anxiety, changes in school, friendships, family relationships, and other overwhelming issues. Whether a child is adjusting to moving schools, experiencing family changes like divorce or a move, or struggling with relationships with friends and attachment figures, Mekenzie aims to create a supportive environment to build a meaningful relationship to understand them and make a difference. She also enjoys involving and working with the parents and other family members to better understand what their child may be experiencing while strengthening communication, connections, and relationships within the family. 

Mekenzie also works with couples experiencing communication difficulties, conflict, emotional disconnection, or navigating new stages of their relationship. Whether a couple is moving in together, adjusting to new circumstances or changes within their relationship, or wanting to feel more connected. Mekenzie works with couples to better understand their patterns and attachment needs within the relationship to create new ways of connecting with one another. 

Mekenzie’s therapeutic approach is relational and systemic, with a strong focus on attachment and connection. She draws strongly from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Bowenian Family Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to help clients understand their relationship, recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and build upon their existing strengths and connection. 

Mekenzie wants to create a space that feels open, warm, and comfortable, somewhere that you are able to connect with yourself, where you can laugh, be yourself, and have the opportunity to process and heal from the things that matter the most to you. Her goal is to meet clients where they are and help them build stronger, more meaningful connections with the people around them.”
