My Approach to Helping

Welcome! My name is Makenna and I want to start off by saying thank you for being here and for taking the difficult first step in beginning therapy. I know it is scary but I am so glad you are here.

My therapeutic approach focuses on healing the mind, body and soul. I view therapy through an integrative and holistic lens in order to find the root cause of an issue rather than a surface level solution. I use evidence based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness Practices. My approach is strengths based and I strive to create an open, non judgemental, safe environment for my clients. I want to help you believe in yourself again and give you mindfulness tools and techniques to help manage your symptoms. Therapy is not a “one size fits all” therefore my approach is individualized and personalized to you and your journey. I have experience working with children and adults with depression, anxiety, substance use, PTSD, trauma, and grief.

I applaud you for being here and I look forward to working with you and embarking on your journey of self discovery!

More Info About My Practice

A little about myself, I was raised in Phoenix, Arizona however I recently moved to Woodland Hills, California. I am engaged to my wonderful fiance and we share a small dachshund together named Jack. I spend most of my free time reading, hiking, or at the beach with my family. I am very passionate about holistic wellness and would like to get a certificate in integrative nutrition this summer. I graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelors of Science in Public Health and Psychology. Upon completion of my program I worked as an outreach specialist at an integrative substance use clinic in Tucson, Arizona. I fell in love with my work and was inspired by my supervisor to further my education. I will graduate from Arizona State University in December with a Master’s of Science in Social Work. I plan to work as an associate therapist until I complete my hours to become a licensed social worker.
