Makinie Therapy

“My approach to counseling in is one of collaboration. My goal through working together is to help you understand how your circumstances are shaped by past and present relationships, cultural and inter-generational values.  I will hold space for you with empathetic curiosity.

I specialize in tailoring each session to individual needs and trauma-informed care,  acknowledging that some behaviors and thoughts are guided by events which one might not have been prepared to experience. There are many moments in live and people who influence our thoughts and feelings, and each should be explored carefully.

Sessions with me are compassionate, straightforward, thought-provoking, and relaxed with just a touch of humor.

I provide support through Video Psychotherapy using evidence-based practices to help you feel more self-aware and hopeful for the next step in life.

As a Black woman in America, I also want to acknowledge the deep and painful roots that many of us share. Although I’ve been providing Black trauma mental health counseling since 2011, I’ve recently started using my voice to educate the public and organization I work for on the impact that Systemic Racism has on Black mental health in America.

To black people, people of color, LGBTQ and allies, I say:

​The fight for equality and justice lives on!”
