About Mackenzie
If your anxiety, grief or sense of self has been asking for a different kind of attention that includes your nervous system alongside your thoughts, Mackenzie works with people in exactly that space. She works with adults, teens and children on a broad range of concerns, and she's especially well-suited for clients open to the somatic dimensions of therapy.
Mackenzie works with Somatic Experiencing, Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST), parts work (IFS) and Narrative Therapy, alongside mindfulness-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In the room, that often looks like starting with a check-in on what you're noticing in your body or thoughts as you settle in, then giving you options on where to focus the session, including working with the different parts of yourself when that's useful. She frequently uses somatic tools like a theraband and stress-relief toys as grounding aids, and offers sketch pads and art supplies for clients who want them.
Mackenzie does her best work with young adults navigating anxiety, grief and loss, identity questions or major life transitions. She's a good fit for clients open to nervous-system-focused work.
Mackenzie's stance is that the client is the expert. She brings humour into sessions where appropriate, and describes her approach as extremely non-judgemental and flexible with client needs.
