Hi, you can call me Mckenna or Kenna (they/them). I identify as Queer, neurodivergent, a “spoonie,” and was raised on the unceded lands of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Duwamish Tribe, past and present. As an ally to those with marginalized identities, I’m grounded in the belief that our liberation is collective. I recognize how structural harms shape our experiences and healing journeys, and I’m committed to creating an inclusive, neurodivergent- and gender-affirming, sex-positive space rooted beyond Health at Every Size. Healing isn’t linear, and I’m honored to witness the complexity and beauty that make you uniquely human—wherever you are on your path.

My work blends Liberation Psychology and Feminist Theory, striving to be authentic, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive. I take a holistic approach, integrating Internal Family Systems, somatic experiencing, harm reduction, and creative arts to help you access parts of yourself that may feel hard to reach. I view therapy as a collaborative process grounded in trust, curiosity, and compassion. I meet you where you are, honoring you as the expert in your own experience. Together, we’ll tap into your strengths, hold each other accountable, and work toward your goals—bringing in laughter, creativity, and flexibility along the way.

I support LGBTQIA2S+ and neurodivergent teens and adults (13+) navigating gender and sexual identity, life transitions, family dynamics, experiences as children of immigrants, disability, chronic illness, and trauma, including PTSD and C-PTSD. While these are my primary areas of focus, I welcome individuals navigating a variety of life experiences.

I hold an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy from Antioch University Seattle and a BA in Peace and Conflict Studies from Western Washington University. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 10 years in direct service with immigrant, refugee, and unhoused communities. My lived experience and intersecting identities fuel my passion for social justice and shape how I show up in both my work and personal life. Some ways that I spend nourishing my soul is through music, reading, rowing, traveling, making art, and cozy movie nights with my wife and our two cats.
