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.

Feeling safe with others is probably the most critical aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives." - Bessel Van Der Kolk.  

I believe that we all deserve relationships that we feel emotionally safety within. Relationships where we can get in touch with our emotions and feel truly felt by another person. I believe in the power of sharing our stories and being seen and "feeling with" another human being can be an incredibly healing experience. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Master's in Social Work(SWC). 

As a therapist, I strive to provide others with outside insight, helpful information, and empathy to help you normalize your struggles. I bring good listening skills, and a little gentle humor to each session. My practice is rooted in attachment theory and pulls on IFS and Narrative work.  I am happy to work with clients who have a variety of challenges including- relationships, trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and LGBTQ support!
