Hi, I’m Mariah!
I have 15+ years’ experience working with individuals in hospitals, non-profits and communities. I work from an anti-oppression lens, often noting the socio-cultural impacts on our lives.
I utilize relational EMDR therapy to assist individuals in processing stuck negative beliefs, emotions or traumatic events. I truly enjoy the process of getting to know another’s inner world and being a witness and partner in the healing process.
I strive to approach every therapeutic relationship with authenticity, curiosity and compassion. I believe that you have all that's needed inside of you to create a path of healing, and I am honored by the opportunity to walk beside you, exactly as you are. I promise to offer unconditional presence, honesty and care as we work together to face life’s challenges. I’m a “roll up your sleeves and get in there” kinda therapist and am excited to partner with you rather than in front of you.
I approach sessions by working with what comes up in the present, especially as it relates to our therapeutic relationship. I will frequently check-in on what's happening in the moment to facilitate awareness and connection.
Some words I live by: “What is stronger than the human heart, which shatters over and over and still lives.” --Rupi Kaur
