Welcome! I look forward to getting to know you. I want to start by validating your willingness and strength to come forward and look into seeking help for yourself. You’ve already started your mental wellness journey by acknowledging that there are areas in your life that you would like to make some changes in, and that is exactly what I am here for. My goal is to give you the tools that you need to live a fully balanced life with healthy and fulfilling relationships by learning the balance between acceptance and change. My passion for therapy comes from my own positive experiences and the change that therapy has brought to my life.

I have 8 years of experience working with adults, teens, tweens, and families. I specialize in counseling members of the LGBTQIA+ community, folks with trauma and I enjoy doing parts work/IFS. If you're experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, family struggles or a general feeling of being stuck; I can help you work towards meeting goals, relief from negative symptoms or unhelpful behaviors. I aim to create an environment of understanding and humor, in order to offer helpful tools and knowledge about how our brains and bodies work, so you can work them to your advantage. I hope we can work together to give you some relief!

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, depressed or anxious? Are you wanting to make a change but just don't know where to start? Emotional pain and stress impacts every part of our lives. Therapy assists in the process of moving from where you are to where you want to be. Through a therapeutic relationship, I provide a safe space that allows curiosity and meaningful reflection. We will explore past experiences in order to find patterns and world views that you currently hold and that influence the way you operate today. Moving at your pace, together we will work towards setting and achieving your personalized goals.

Welcome! My name is Maranda and I believe finding the right therapist is crucial, akin to finding a life partner. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership, where we work together to achieve your goals while tapping into your inherent strengths. I believe that laughter, along with tears, is an important part of the healing process. In sessions, I bring curiosity and honesty, meeting you where you are and guiding you in challenging outdated beliefs. My philosophy is that therapy is simply for those who have exhausted their current coping skills and need to learn new ones.

Have you recently experienced a crisis? Are you struggling with transitions or loss? Would you like to explore new skills and ways of looking at life that help you live with more ease and confidence? I am flexible and work hard to find the fit between my knowledge and experience and your goals and preferences.

I hope you keep working to get the results you deserve. Life is worth living and it requires action steps. I have training in DBT and EMDR and certified in CPT for trauma. I specialize in working with adults and teens who need behavior change and/or trauma processing. These treatments are designed to help clients develop the skills to independently manage problematic behavior and thinking patterns (i.e. my job is to work myself out of a job).

I have over 25 years of experience helping people address issues that block them from reaching their full potential in life. Understanding the source of problems is vital to making effective changes. I will help you identify what is causing you trouble and how to effectively improve it. Over the years, I have come to understand how important it is to not only connect with what one is experiencing psychologically but also connecting with how our emotions are stored and experienced in our body. I specialize in improving relationships with important people in your life and especially your relationship with yourself.

I support people as they go through some of life's tougher times. I do not "fix" anyone. I help people remember the truth about their worth and value and guide them as they practice living from that truth whether it's for the first time or not. When we get afraid and empty, it is almost impossible to remember this by ourselves, and we need an experienced, knowledgable and loving ally to shine the light for us through the dark and confusing times.

I am an advanced clinician in Imago Therapy. When relationships aren't working very well or are on the brink of ending, it really feels bad; like the rug is being pulled out from under you. Often there are solvable reasons for why these things happen. I am motivated by those methods such as Imago therapy and EFT which have worked so well for so many in the past to help couples develop a high degree of safe attachment in their relationships. Something, that once they have learned how to do it, they can take with them because it is portable.

FREE consultations! Are you feeling stuck in negative thoughts, intense emotions, or behavioral patterns that don't serve your best interest? Are you hoping to build more meaning and joy in your life? You may feel hesitant about reaching out for help, especially with pressure from all directions to "have it all together". I'm here to join you on this journey to discover healing and build a balanced life.

As far as anyone can tell, you’ve got a great marriage and life. You’re accomplished, always loving to each other and close with friends and family. But on the inside, you have never felt so alone. Over the years you have tried to rationalize, fix, and excuse your relationship growing apart, yet it is disheartening. Something just does not feel right anymore, and you begin to realize you feel like you have a roommate rather than a partnership. Maintaining a fulfilling and loving relationship can be a challenge in today's fast paced environment.

Depression, anxiety, relationship issues, loss and grief, mid-life crisis, disappointment and stagnation are only a few of the reasons an individual seeks counseling. My therapeutic approach in working with an individual is to explore the meaning of life-altering events and to bring understanding and enduring ways to cope. I focus on strengths in the individual and work in a warm, non-judgmental way that feels safe. My role is to provide empathic listening and support while acting as a guide in removing the barriers and patterns that have developed over a lifetime.

Are you ready to let old patterns go and bring new energy into your life? Are you on a healing journey, but find yourself stuck in a particular area of your life? I believe that pleasure is a vital component of happiness, and that through therapy individuals and couples can learn the right tools to achieve mental, emotional, spiritual, and sexual health. I help folks explore who they are in a safe environment that is supportive of each person’s path to self-love and acceptance. I work with couples to address communication issues and help them to build stronger, more intimate connections.

The source of everything we’re seeking, is in ourselves. Are you ready to create a sacred space in your life that involves integrating mindfulness of body intelligence as a primary tool for unconscious material to show up and possibly be healed and integrated by using breath, spatial awareness, consented therapeutic touch, movement, sensation, and imagery? By tapping into the innate intelligence of your gut, heart, and mind centers, YOU CAN absolutely reconnect with your inner guidance system which already contains everything you need to thrive. Let's collaborate to unleash your potential for conscious personal development!

Feeling stuck, angry, depressed, or confused? Are you fed up, with yourself, your partner, or family members? Are you struggling financially? Are looking for a different career or starting one? Are your struggling with school or college? Do you have feelings and thoughts that you do not understand, and don't feel comfortable talking to friends or family about them? These are common experiences for many people in our complicated society. Sometimes people "act out", fall into addictions, just shut down, or make bad decisions. They want change, but are not sure how. That's when counseling and analysis can really help.

Reaching out for support is a huge first step and a variety of reasons may bring someone to seek out therapy. My intention is to provide a counseling environment that feels safe, compassionate, and healing. I believe in the innate strengths of individuals, our deep awareness of our needs, and the power of feeling heard and understood. I hope to energize client’s self-knowledge through humble curiosity and exploration. My technique is grounded in the mind-body connection. Acknowledging the physical sensations of our emotional responses can teach valuable information and can help us navigate everyday life.

What would life be like if you felt more confident, calm, focused, and present? What would it be like to approach situations with more optimism and excitement and less fear or negativity? If you are someone who struggles with anxiety, depression, has a loud inner critic, or knows that something (but aren't sure what) is blocking your potential in some or all areas of their lives I may be a good fit. I can help you to gain clarity into what you want, identify the things that get in your way, and guide you in finding ways of working towards your goals.

As humans, we all go through challenges in life that have a negative impact on our emotional, mental and physical well-being. Finding a safe place to be able to express your feelings, thoughts and experiences without judgment is vital as you journey through challenging and overwhelming moments in life. If you are feeling depressed, anxious, having a difficult time with interpersonal relationships or life transitions, let’s work together on dealing with these feelings in a healthy manner for you and those around you.
