Welcome, I’m glad you found your way here. I’m Makenna and I’m a dually Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist in Minnesota and Wisconsin providing compassionate trauma-informed therapy for adults (18+). I specialize in grief and loss counseling, trauma, and perinatal mental health including pregnancy, postpartum, identity change, relationship difficulties, and support with the challenges of parenthood. My approach is trauma and grief-informed, providing a supportive space to explore your experiences. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy to help you process emotions with curiosity, better understand your needs, and navigate change and uncertainty with greater flexibility and self-compassion. Therapy with me is a space that says ‘yes, what you’re feeling makes sense.’ I believe therapy can be a helpful resource and a brave act of self care. My goal is to help you feel capable and confident, not by changing who you are, but by reconnecting you with the strengths and wisdom already within you. If any of my words resonate with you, I’d love to hear your story and explore how I can best support you.
