Hi, I’m McKenna. I’m a professional counselor working towards licensure. I received a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I am currently practicing under the clinical supervision of Rachel Downer, LPC/MHSP. 

I primarily work with individuals, couples, and families whose relationship challenges contribute to depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Using attachment-based, narrative, and integrative approaches, I invite clients to explore their stories with me and develop the capacity for belonging in community. Rather than “fix,” I’d love to offer you camaraderie and research-based guidance in nuanced areas. 

I have foundational experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults who present with social anxiety, self-injury, suicidal ideation, and pervasive dysregulation. I’m skilled in responding to acute emotional distress by modeling secure-based therapeutic relationships. I’m adept at applying attachment-informed Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) techniques, particularly in the context of trauma and ineffective coping skills. I’m committed to providing empathetic, client-centered care with a focus on promoting long-term emotional, social, and psychological resilience. 

In my free time, you may find me cycling, swimming, or reading in the community!  Let’s see if we’re a good fit, reach out for a free consultation!

McKenna is under the supervision of Rachel Cox, LPC-MHSP.
