Who can you trust? Who is going to listen? Well you have come to the right place. If you are ready to make real change from a life of depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, anger, and grief then give therapy a try. I am here to help you find lasting peace, happiness, hope, truth, strength, direction, and self-worth. Let this be the year that you see true change!

Struggling to make the changes you want and feeling stuck? Are you searching for a space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood? I will work with you using a holistic EMDR-first approach to move you from surviving to thriving.

We are living through COVID, social unrest, the absence of opportunities, being overworked/underpaid, and inflation, yet you continue to survive. The world is constantly changing and at times it comes at the expense of our mental well-being. We need to get back to the basics which consist of learning how to take our minds, body, and soul. I seek to assist you in coping, finding balance, and identifying and achieving your personal goals.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* You are making the first step in improving your quality of life. Knowing that you are safe and supported is one of the best predictors of successful therapy. I know that deciding to seek therapy demonstrates an act of humility and self-love. I work from a tailored team-oriented approach with my clients to assist them in recognizing their true potentials and inner strength, which enables them to feel empowered and allow them to build on those elements to find their own path forward. As such, I utilize an intersectional framework to honor and affirm how your identities impact the way you navigate the world.

Marielle has experience seeing clients with a wide range of mental health challenges including difficulty regulating emotions, stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms, and difficulty within relationships. She has a strong passion for working with individuals who are struggling to cope with different life transitions, experiencing low self-esteem, and turmoil in their relationships. Her goal is to help individuals identify and change problematic thoughts and behaviors while using acceptance strategies to validate their past and present emotional experiences.

I believe your mental and emotional health is just as important as your physical health and well being. Just as you would see your primary doctor to maintain your physical health, counseling/therapy is here to help you maintain your mental and emotional health. I have significant experience working with adults dealing with (but not limited to): depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, trauma, life transitions, parenting and multi-cultural issues.

Life challenges us with ups and downs – some expected and others not. These unexpected events or life transitions challenge our abilities to cope or understand our sense of self or purpose. At times we all need extra support to navigate these challenges. I welcome people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief and loss. I also specialize in working with people born outside of the U.S. – on issues such as dual-identity, feelings of isolation or loneliness, the stress of adapting to varying cultural expectations, and inter-generational conflict and misunderstanding.

Life can be tough, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed. I'm here to help you... Are you feeling utterly drained by the constant struggle of trying to balance a career, relationships, and self-care? The relentless pressure to excel, the persistent self-doubt that creeps in, the lurking fear of failure, the enduring presence of microaggressions, and the frustrating battle with pelvic pain or a diminished sex drive? And if you're a BIPOC and/or neurodivergent (ADHD/ADD) woman, these challenges take on an extra layer of complexity as you navigate a society that is often stacked against you.

Life gives us challenges- often unexpectedly. When that happens we can feel overwhelmed, sad, anxious, angry, lost, or frustrated. We can struggle with the next steps of how to start feeling better. All challenges hold within them opportunities and I'd like to help you as you discover them. I am skilled in helping my clients meet the goals they set. Together, let's figure out how to cope with what is occurring, better understand yourself in the midst of it, develop deeper strengths, learn new skills, and make the choices that feel best for you. Big changes and big challenges can make us feel alone, but you aren't.

Are you at a crossroads in life? Are you seeking direction in your personal, professional, and spiritual life? Do you always worry about what others think about you and are looking to find your voice? My goal is to help men and women discover their voices and overcome personal and mental health challenges that prevent them from showing up as the best version of themselves.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by worry, sadness, shame, or guilt? Having difficulty sleeping? Are you constantly battling anxiety, irritability, mood changes, or fatigue? Are you struggling with poor motivation, attention issues, procrastination, or relationship problems? Feeling stuck and can't figure out how to feel better? It's time to gain control of your well-being. Working together, we can help you to find the answers you are looking for and help you transform into a happier, healthier version of you.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Therapy is a highly personal and emotional experience. My experience includes working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, isolation, substance use, grief, loss, abuse, neglect, trauma, low self-esteem, life transitions, gender issues, relationship and/or family issues.

We all suffer, but most suffering is not necessary. We develop habits to cope with suffering, but then find we are stuck repeating patterns that no longer serve us. Creating a safe, stable, and trusting environment, we can non-judgementally perceive where we are stuck and have the courage to let go of unhealthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We are then able to grow in new ways that allow for gentleness, peace, and joy.

"The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem." Are you tired of pretending "everything's fine", when it's not? Real men embrace vulnerability, honesty & courage. It takes guts to ask for help & face struggles head-on. It takes strength to open up & true bravery to take action for lasting change. We often hit a wall in life & reach a turning point – a bridge we need to cross. Are you looking for a therapist who is real and genuine & can guide you across? As we embark on this transformative journey, I will be here to support you every step of the way, empowering you to unlock your true potential.

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."--Aristotle. I believe that becoming self-aware and self-accepting is the path to positive change and fulfillment. If you are feeling stuck, scared, or depressed in any area of your life, if you find yourself repeating toxic patterns in your relationships, or are being taken advantage of at work, I will teach you effective short-term coping skills, while we simultaneously develop the insight needed to make the long-lasting changes that will make you happier and healthier. I also offer expertise in EAP issues and practice clinical supervision. PLEASE EMAIL TO MAKE INTIAL CONTACT!
