Great to meet you!

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.

A bit about my approach to therapy

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.

What you can expect from our first session

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
