About Macey

About Macey

Macey is a Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about helping women feel seen and supported through the many seasons of motherhood. From pregnancy and postpartum to step-parenting, fostering, or adoption, she knows that stepping into motherhood doesn’t come with a manual and often brings up pieces of ourselves we didn’t expect. For many women, this stage of life can surface old wounds, challenge relationships, and stir questions about identity and self-worth, all while learning to care for someone

Therapeutic Style

Macey’s work is grounded in trauma-informed and strengths-based approaches. She often uses EMDR Therapy while pulling from other modalities to help clients process experiences like birth trauma and the ways past pain can resurface in motherhood. Her style is collaborative, compassionate, and practical – balancing validation with gentle challenges to help clients build confidence, heal relationship patterns, and reconnect with their sense of self. Macey believes therapy should feel like a partnership where clients are the experts of their own lives, and her role is to guide them to uncover the strengths that have been there all along. She brings equal parts warmth, wit, and realness to her sessions, adding her own touch of razzle-dazzle to the process. Whether she’s making you laugh, drawing parallels from Friends or Harry Potter, or celebrating your wins like a proud friend, Macey believes healing is easier when you can be your whole self – serious, silly, and everything in between.
