Hello! My name is McKenzie, and I am a Montana native who feels most at home spending time with family, traveling, fishing, attending concerts, or paddleboarding on one of Montana's beautiful lakes.

My path to becoming a counselor has been shaped by a passion for supporting individuals through life's most difficult experiences. I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University after previously completing a Master's degree in Forensic Psychology and my undergraduate studies at Boise State University (Go Broncos!). Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals with developmental disabilities and dual diagnoses, as well as within law enforcement and community corrections. These experiences fostered a deep passion for walking alongside individuals impacted by trauma, grief, addiction, domestic violence, and sexual assault.

I believe every person has the capacity for healing and growth, especially when they feel supported, understood, and empowered. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in helping clients build resilience as they navigate life's challenges. I have a special interest in trauma therapy and look forward to continuing my training in evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, to best support individuals recovering from traumatic experiences.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor Candidate completing my licensure under the supervision of Rebekah Orr, MS, LCPC. It is a privilege to come alongside clients as they pursue healing and create meaningful change in their lives. I strive to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, discover your strengths, and move toward the life you want to build.
