Great to meet you!

Hi! I'm Marilyn- a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 10 years of experience helping adults and young adults navigate through life’s stressful and uncertain seasons. I earned my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling. I bring a supportive, down-to-earth approach to therapy. I incorporate psychoeducation and skill-building so therapy feels useful beyond the session. My goal is for you to feel understood, more grounded, and confident in your ability to handle what comes next.

My approach to therapy

My style is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I work best with clients who want a safe place to process what they’re going through and practical tools they can use day-to-day. In sessions, we’ll explore patterns, stressors, and the “why” behind what you’re feeling, while also building coping skills that fit your real life.

What you can expect from me

Therapy with me is a partnership. Many clients come feeling overwhelmed or stuck so we start by building stability. I’m active and engaged in sessions, offering gentle structure and honest feedback when helpful. Together, we’ll identify what isn’t working, what’s getting in the way, and what you want to change, then build practical steps toward your goals.
