Welcome! I specialize in supporting people who are highly self-critical, carry excessive shame, and are overly hard on themselves. Many of the people I work with identify as anxious and/or having a history of trauma. If you are perfectionistic, have trouble making decisions, struggle to feel confident in your competence, or often avoid hard emotions, I may be a good fit for you. Some of the situations causing you stress could include school, work, relationships, or painful memories. I also have experience with survivors of emotional, sexual, or physical abuse, sexual assault, and grief/loss.
I help my clients to feel secure and safe while encouraging them to explore new, uncharted emotional territory. My approach is down-to-earth and skills-based. I mainly draw from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as well as being trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure.
Starting therapy can be hard and overwhelming! I'd be happy to provide more information about my approach in a 15-minute intake call. Don't hesitate to reach out if you are interested in learning more and think we might work well together.

Marlyse is a highly skilled therapist. She has a wonderful way of helping clients notice thoughts or behaviours that may be getting in the way. I have noticed she also works hard to give clients new skills or approaches they can try.
