Therapy with Marie - a glimpse into the process
Starting therapy can mean many things—a step toward healing, a way to navigate change, or simply a space to pause and breathe. However you arrive here, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you find the support and perspective you’re looking for.
​
I work primarily with college students and individuals during the perinatal period, offering care for those managing anxiety, depression, grief, disordered eating, life transitions, or relationship stress. As a PMH-C, I hold advanced certification in perinatal mental health, including pregnancy, infertility, and postpartum experiences.
​
Clients describe my style as warm, direct, and authentic. I use a blend of evidence-based approaches—CBT, DBT, emotion-focused, and psychodynamic—to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and ready to move toward your goals.
​
If you’re considering therapy, I invite you to reach out so we can explore what’s been happening in your life and how we can work together.
