McKinley is passionate about helping couples and families improve their relationships, fostering stronger connections and deeper understanding. She strives to be an ally for all, firmly believing that peace is attainable even amid life's toughest questions. With her unique blend of warmth and humor, McKinley emphasizes that therapy is a collaborative experience, where laughter and vulnerability can foster healing and connection. She is dedicated to creating a safe space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported on their journey to growth.
Currently pursuing her master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Utah Tech, McKinley is deeply committed to helping others form and maintain healthy relationships. As a former suicide prevention trainer, she understands the profound importance of infusing hope into every session.
