My ideal clients are high-functioning individuals, professionals, and couples who appear successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected internally. Many struggle with perfectionism, burnout, body image issues, disordered eating, trauma, menopause transition, or codependent relationship patterns. They are often self-aware and motivated for change but find themselves repeating the same emotional or relational cycles despite their efforts. Clients often seek therapy when the strategies that once helped them cope are no longer working and they are ready to understand and change the patterns driving their lives.

Making the decision to seek help/enter counseling can be difficult, often with feelings of fear, overwhelm and discouragement. My approach is to first understand what drove the client to reach out for help, and then provide a comfortable space to discuss what they’d like to be different. Working together to identify treatment goals, and an approach, the client gains confidence in the process and hopefulness in a positive outcome. I provide individual, family and couple's therapy and work from a strength-based perspective and to understand the individual(s) in context of their environment, relationships, culture and experiences.

They want a calmer home, a more confident child, and a stronger caregiver–child bond.

Whether you are single or partnered, asexual or allosexual, sweetest vanilla or practiced kinkster, you know that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to intimacy. My clients are people who recognize that sexual wellness contributes to mental health just as much as other forms of wellness. Sexual wellness isn't just in the bedroom, it's how we talk to each other, it's how we show and give affection, it's how we define intimacy and practice being vulnerable, playful, and compassionate. Sometimes it's difficult to do these things and that gets in the way of connection. How do you want to connect with others? With yourself?

As a therapist, a parent, and the owner of Marley Mental Health, I know firsthand that parenting is one of the most humbling, demanding, and meaningful things you'll ever do — and that even the most devoted parents can feel lost when their child is struggling. Kids rarely say "I'm overwhelmed." Instead, they show us through tantrums, withdrawal, perfectionism, and behaviors that can feel baffling or exhausting. At Marley, we help children and teens make sense of what they're feeling, build real coping skills, and develop the emotional resilience that allows entire families to breathe a little easier.

During grief, life transitions, relationship or spiritual challenges, or chronic conditions, we may feel alone, unsure of ourselves, or the meaning of our lives.

I have been in practice since 1997. I am Licensed Professional Counselor as well as an Advanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Certified Clinician (CBT-C) & Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) to address anxiety and depression. I believe it is the relationship with the patient and therapist which are significant to build trust and in turn facilitate change. It is important to have a treatment plan to set goals to learn healthy coping skills to address negative thought patterns. The recent years have brought such change in how we work, attend school, have relationships, and work through adversity. Therapy is key.
