Has standard talk therapy not quite worked for you? You are stuck in unhealthy patterns that you recognize but cannot break free of. Unmanaged stress manifests as anxiety and tension throughout your body. Are you ready to step into your power and process through your unique challenges? My friends and family call me "Mackie" and I prefer that you do too! My approach to the therapeutic relationship focuses on fostering personal evolution through an empowerment and strengths perspective. I commonly assist clients with general anxiety, stress management, interpersonal relationships, and gaining self-discovery/insight.

If you’re reading this and considering counseling, there’s a part of you that’s searching for healing, wholeness, meaning, and joy, and I want to help you find it. I work with adult individuals using IFS, EMDR, guided imagery, and experiential and somatic therapies to help people heal from experiences like abuse, neglect, spiritual/religious or cult trauma, unwanted or compulsive sexual behaviors, depression, and codependency. I enjoy working with young adults, creatives, geeks and gamers, intuitive people who want to go beyond the black-and-white, and overthinkers of every variety!

Do you struggle with finding your voice or knowing where to start? I would love the opportunity to walk with you on your journey! I have experience working with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, body shaming, somatic concerns, relationships, identity, and boundaries. Together, we can develop your natural insights, strengths, resiliencies, and remove any barriers that get in your own way. I value building rapport and trust through empathy, respect, and actively listening.

If you find yourself sacrificing your own needs to please others, feeling stuck and exhausted, or trapped in a cycle of self-criticism and doubt, you're not alone. At The CC, we understand the weight of these struggles and are here to offer support. Our compassionate team of therapists specializes in helping individuals break free from the patterns of self-doubt that hold them back. We provide a safe and nurturing environment where you can explore your fears, frustrations, and dreams for the future.

Taking new clients! Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, or feelings of not being good enough? Do you react in ways that cause you to feel embarrassed or ashamed, but did not feel like you were in control? Do you avoid people or situations because you become too overwhelmed or anxious? Do you often put others' needs before your own and end up feeling resentful? If any or all of the above sound familiar, you are not alone. I commonly work with clients who suffer from trauma, narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse, anxiety, depression, codependency, and interpersonal/attachment issues.

Are you struggling to find meaning, purpose, or healing in your life? Has something happened you need to resolve? Looking for better ways to cope or have the things you have been doing stopped working? Struggling with addiction, depression, or anxiety? Life's challenges often times require fresh eyes and genuine support untethered by judgment or relationship complications. Let's walk shoulder to shoulder through this together to find gentle resolution of trauma, PTSD, or grief. I work with adult men and women to find emotional regulation and balance to live their best lives and find peace.

The past few years have been traumatic for individuals and families all over the world. Many have had difficulty coping with their day-to-day struggles which has been compounded by underlying traumatic events, abuse, and lack of support. Many struggle with unhealthy coping mechanisms to help them manage their depression and anxiety. This often leads to neglecting individual needs, toxic relationships, and substance use. Understanding how these issues manifest in one's life and discovering how to heal and become the best version of oneself is a difficult process that is most effective with someone to serve as a guide.

It is my privilege and passion to walk alongside of those who are healing from trauma, abuse, anxiety, and those grappling with spirituality and personal identity. I firmly believe that through respectful, culturally competent and trauma informed approaches, space can be held for you to feel empowered to not just survive, but thrive! In sessions, I often use Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Somatic Therapy to equip and encourage clients to live mindfully in the present while honoring and healing what happened in the past.

In working with you, my goal is to create the space for you to connect with your own innate wisdom. I will meet you where you are with presence, empathy, and non-judgment. Using mindfulness and somatic techniques we will examine and remain grounded in the present and then work backward to untangle how difficult or traumatic experiences of the past may be keeping you “stuck” in unhealthy thinking or behavioral patterns. I will act as an unwavering guide as you move toward freedom and growth.

Are you having trouble reaching your goals regarding relationships, career, giving up habits or starting new ones? Have you experienced significant loss: death of a loved one, a job or relationship that ended? Have you suffered trauma, either years ago or more recently? Do you struggle with depression or chronic health problems? Do "nerves" prevent you from doing your best on tests, at work, in sports or the performing arts? If you have concerns in any of these areas, give me a call. I can help you access your own healing power and resources.

Congratulations on taking this very important first step in changing your life and improving the relationships that matter the most to you! I know it wasn't easy, but creating change in life never is and I am here to support you in that journey. Have you experienced a traumatic childhood? Are you noticing that your relationships with loved ones seem to cause more pain than joy? Are you struggling with difficult emotions that make each day harder and harder to get through? Together, we can sort the challenges and create a clear path towards healing.

Love and Life gets complicated... Anxiety, Trauma, D.V., Abuse, Addictions, Complex Grief, Self Harm, Marriage and Family issues may arise and we become blindsided. Hope and recovery is possible. Empower yourself for change.

You are being held back in daily life by stress, anxiety or past experiences. It is difficult not to worry or constantly be on edge. Strong and terrifying panic sensations in your body feel overwhelming, confusing and frustrating. Fear and discouragement have too strong of a grip on you. Maybe you've experienced a traumatic childhood or recent event that continues to haunt you or cause shame. Yet, you have a sense that there is something better for you and you feel motivated to find freedom. You have decided it is time to address these challenges and unlock a new way of experiencing life and being your true self.

Are you looking for something more than talk therapy? I like to offer clients the flexibility to choose how we work together. If they desire traditional talk therapy, we can do that, or if they are interested in other experiential modalities such as Psychodrama, IFS, or Mindfulness-based interventions, we can also explore that realm. Are you needing help with managing stress and anxiety? Is your past having a larger-than-desired impact on your present? Let's work together to address these things and find new ways of interacting with the challenges.

I specialize in adults and teens with trauma with a specific focus on Complex PTSD. I also work with couples suffering from intimacy issues. I work with individuals suffering from anxiety and depression as well. My approach to therapy is to be honest and forward while promoting this in my clients. I believe a non-judgmental environment is very important. My clients like that I am blunt and confrontational in therapy, avoiding trite therapy terms and tailoring sessions to clients' specific needs. I use many different techniques and theories in my practice, though I tend to stay myself in session to remain real and honest.

Sandstone Care provides substance use, addiction, and mental health treatment for young adults (ages 18 to 30) and adolescents (ages 13 to 18) including Residential Treatment, Day Treatment (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and General Outpatient (OP) programming.

I became a therapist because I believe that every person is worthy of a life lived fully as themselves. For most of us, at some point, life experiences get in the way of feeling our best, but healing is possible when we have a safe place to process those experiences. I strive to be that safe place for every person who enters my office. I offer EMDR and specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, and depression, but also know that sometimes in life, we just feel a little off. Wherever you are in life's journey, I'd be honored to journey with you.
