Hi, I’m MaKenzie, a Limited Licensed Psychologist with a passion for helping children understand their emotions, build confidence, and develop lifelong coping skills. Through my work with children and families, I’ve seen how powerful it can be when kids are given simple, creative tools to make sense of their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

The Coping Corner was created to provide gentle, evidence-based resources that help children learn about anxiety, emotions, mindfulness, and self-regulation in a way that feels approachable, engaging, and fun. My hope is that these resources not only teach children how to cope with life’s challenges, but also help them discover more about themselves—their emotions, strengths, needs, and the unique qualities that make them who they are.

Mental health is a lifelong journey of learning, growing, and understanding ourselves, and my goal is to make mental health tools feel less intimidating and more like a cozy corner where kids can learn, grow, and feel supported—one coping skill at a time.
