Hello! So glad you are here!
Crisis, loss, grief, suicidality, and threats—topics most adults hope to avoid when working with today's youth. But for me, these challenges are a calling, driving my commitment to provide meaningful support. I've dedicated my career to finding effective prevention strategies and trauma-informed crisis responses. My favorite way to share my story and the valuable lessons I've learned along the way is by connecting in person. I pour my passion into my presentations, where I actively engage my audience, equipping them with the tools they need to prepare for and navigate the many obstacles they may encounter. Together, we can create a safe and supportive environment where all youth can grow and succeed, regardless of the challenges they encounter.
Makenzie's mission is to equip professionals to foster safe, supportive spaces where every child can grow and thrive—no matter what challenges they face in life
