Community Staff

McKenna, originally from the Boise, Idaho area, has been residing in Pocatello for the past four years. She graduated with her Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Boise State University. She taught Kindergarten for three years locally. Currently, she is in her final year at Idaho State University, pursuing her Master's degree in Counseling. McKenna serves as both a Community-Based Rehabilitation Services (CBRS) staff member and a Counseling Intern. She enjoys working with people of all ages and is eager to continue serving the Pocatello community. 

   Originally from La Grande, Oregon, I have lived in the Pocatello area since 2022. I earned my Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Spanish in 2025 and am currently pursuing my Master’s in Counseling at Idaho State University, with a focus in Clinical Mental Health. Now in my second year, I serve as both a Counseling Intern and a Community-Based Rehabilitation Services (CBRS) provider. With a foundation in athletics and a strong belief in holistic wellness, I am also completing certification in Animal-Assisted Therapy and look forward to integrating animals into my clinical work starting in July 2025. My experiences connecting with people from a variety of cultures—both locally and abroad—have shaped her belief in meeting each client with respect, curiosity, and cultural humility. I am dedicated to continued growth as a clinician and looks forward to building meaningful, collaborative relationships as I support the diverse needs of the Pocatello community.
