Great to meet you!

My name is Macy (she/they) and I believe that therapy is for everyone, at any time, regardless of stressors in our environment. I received my MSW from St. Louis University '17 and my Doctor of Education from Western Illinois University '25. I look forward to working with anyone who is seeking to better themselves, understand their way of thinking, and how to navigate the stress in their lives.

My approach to therapy

I am a clinician who is deeply committed to equity, healing, and connection. I ground my practice in trauma-informed care with a strong foundation in justice and inclusion for diverse individuals. With client-centered support, an affirming environment, and navigating systemic barriers, it is my hope that therapy can bring my clients to their best version of themselves.

Increased self-awareness

Restoration of trust and belonging

Improved relational and communication skills

Empowerment and agency
