Great to meet you!

Hi, it’s Marie. I’m here to help. I understand the vulnerability of what it is like to face new challenges whether it be personal or professional. As a military spouse and clinician, I’ve had my share of this cycle over the past 20 years. My journey has been both challenging and remarkably rewarding. I welcomed both whole-heartedly because they each helped my growth as a person, a wife, parent, friend, colleague, and in my profession. I’ve done my work, and now I’m here to help you through yours!

For a total of 8 years, I’ve been happy to educate and assist my clients with eliminating unhealthy patterns, alleviating daily life stressors, enhancing emotional regulation, improving self-worth, navigating complexities of intimate partner/domestic abuse, family and other relationship dynamics, and trauma (I completed EMDR basic training in 2026, which offers me an additional trauma-informed orientation). I utilize integrated evidenced based approaches in my work.

Taking the initial step to participate in therapy may take all the courage and motivation you have within you. Let’s start there, and we will work together to navigate the landing to a space of what I call R.E.S.T. (Restoration, Empowerment, Stability, Tranquility) for you.

My approach to therapy

My style of therapy is warm, inviting, integrative, relational, and collaborative. I engage services from a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space that fosters self-awareness, emotional and somatic processing, and skill-building for growth, empowerment, and healing. I incorporate evidence-based therapies to address areas of childhood and current experiences, life stressors, wellness, and capacity.

I aim to assist you in (re)connecting to your inner-most self so that you achieve confidence, humility, and comfortability in showing up authentically and holistically in your relationships with others, and for yourself. You will find my approach to therapy to be much the same, authentic and holistic. In our sessions the tempo varies in range dependent on what best supports your need moment. Our session time together is calm, relaxing, and not pressed. It will be my pleasure to work with you on your healing journey.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will center on introductions, an understanding of what prompted you to seek therapy, and also to see if our working together will be a good fit
