Hello, my name is Macie, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor  with 12 years in the behavioral health field. Seven of those years have been dedicated to crisis intervention. I provide trauma informed, evidence-based, client-centered psychotherapy within a warm, non-judgmental, and honest therapeutic environment. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, and adjustment to life transitions, including career-related stress and decision-making in a multitude of life areas. My approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, utilizing clinically informed interventions to support emotional regulation, insight, and sustainable change utilizing approaches such as; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Narrative approaches.

I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 15 years of healthcare experience. My background spans emergency department, primary care, urgent care, and mental health, allowing me to approach each client with a comprehensive understanding of both physical and emotional well-being. I specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, ADHD, and mood disorders.

My practice focuses on providing evidence-based medication management paired with supportive, collaborative care. I believe in meeting clients where they are, empowering them through education, and tailoring treatment plans to their unique needs, preferences, and goals. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and holistic. I value building strong therapeutic relationships and creating a safe space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported. If you’re looking for compassionate, thorough, and personalized care, I’m here to help you take the next step in your mental health journey. 

My approach to therapy is caring, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I use different styles of therapy depending on your needs, but at the heart of it, I believe healing happens in a safe, supportive relationship. I often work with people who are feeling anxious, going through relationship struggles, dealing with low self-esteem, navigating big life changes, or figuring out what it means to be highly sensitive or neurodivergent. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns that once helped them cope but no longer feel useful. Together, we gently explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion.

People often describe me as calm, present, and easy to talk to. At the same time, I stay actively involved in sessions. I believe real growth usually means stepping a little outside your comfort zone, and my role is to support you in stretching just enough to foster change, without overwhelming your system. My hope is that therapy with me feels like a space where you can bring your whole self and know that you’ll be met with care and respect. Outside of the therapy room, I’m also pursuing my PhD in Counseling Psychology. My research looks at how we adjust during big life transitions, including culture shock, finding belonging, and how our sense of self can shift during these times.

Are you tired of craving peace and quiet, only to feel restless the moment you find it? Do you catch yourself questioning everything internally, even when you have what you need? These experiences can be signs of depression, anxiety, stress, or unresolved trauma. I help men, veterans, service members, and children reconnect with themselves, improve behaviors, and find the stability and clarity they and their families have been searching for.

As a Marine Corps veteran, I know firsthand how hard it can be to open up, especially to someone who doesn’t understand the culture, the pressure, or the unspoken expectations. I’ve been in the seat where therapy felt distant and disconnected. That’s why I’ve dedicated my work to bridging that gap and making you feel understood from the start. 

Whether you're surviving the stress of your day-to-day, struggling with mental health, seeking more satisfaction in your relationships or career, needing to change and modify some behaviors, or simply trying to regain a sense of purpose, no matter the problem, I’ve got your back.
