Great to meet you!

Marcella is a certified TF-CBT and trained EMDR therapist with 13 years of counseling experience. She specializes in assisting busy adults healing from narcissistic abuse, toxic relationships, and unresolved relational trauma. Marcella helps dedicated professionals move through anxiety, work stress, and compassion fatigue by rebuilding self trust, strengthening boundaries, and restoring emotional resiliency so they can feel grounded and fulfilled again in their personal and professional lives.

My approach to therapy

Her approach centers on creating a safe and brave space where you can be honest about your challenges and your strength. You can expect a real, grounded, nonjudgmental space where your experiences are believed, understood, and explored without shame. Together we focus on rebuilding self trust, strengthening boundaries, and helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that were minimized in toxic or narcissistic relationships. By honoring what makes you unique, you build the resilience needed to move through hard moments and improve your quality of life.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I listen closely to your story and the energy underneath it, paying attention to what has shaped your self trust, boundaries, and relationships. You will walk out with clarity on what’s happening in your nervous system and why certain patterns keep showing up. My goal is to assist you with practical strategies that create real change, so every session feels meaningful, supportive, and genuinely useful in your healing from toxic or narcissistic dynamics.
