Registered Psychotherapist

McKenna takes an integrative, person-centred approach to therapy, recognizing that every client brings their own unique experiences, strengths, and goals to the therapeutic process. Drawing from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), psychodynamic theory, positive psychology, memory work, and self-compassion, she thoughtfully adapts her approach to meet each client where they are.

Throughout therapy, McKenna works collaboratively with her clients to develop greater self-understanding, recognize patterns that may be affecting their lives, and build on the strengths and resources they already possess while discovering and developing new ones. She believes that meaningful change begins with curiosity, compassion, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and our experiences.

McKenna has worked in mental health and community services for several years, supporting individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences. Her experience includes working with anxiety, depression, addiction, personality disorders, interpersonal concerns, trauma, grief, and cognitive and physical disabilities. She has a particular interest in supporting women experiencing infertility and perinatal mental health concerns, including postpartum anxiety and postpartum depression. She also welcomes individuals experiencing anxiety related to living with diabetes, as well as members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

McKenna is committed to creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves. She understands that beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, and she strives to create a therapeutic relationship built on trust, openness, and genuine connection. Her goal is to help clients feel heard and understood while supporting them as they navigate challenges, develop greater self-awareness, and move toward meaningful change.

McKenna holds an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Ottawa and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. She is a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and is a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.
