McKell has had the opportunity to work with a wide range of individuals–including children, youth, and adults–supporting them in working toward their goals and taking meaningful steps toward healing. Across these roles, she has the most experience helping youth and adults who are encountering anxiety, hopelessness, a sense of not belonging, or are seeking positive change in their lives.
Her goal in working with clients is to help them feel heard, empowered, and experience greater happiness. McKell strives to meet clients where they are at and support them in discovering that change and healing are truly possible.
