Hi, I’m Marlee. I help people who feel stretched thin by anxiety, disordered eating, or family stress find steadier ground. I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults across schools, residential treatment, and group practice, so I meet you with real experience and without judgment. In our work together I draw on CBT, DBT, strength-based and behavioral approaches, and motivational interviewing, tailored to what you need rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. If you’re ready for support that fits your life, I’d love to connect.

Clients should know that I am a safe space and an open-minded person. The experiences I have gone through have introduced me to various spaces, people, and situations. I have been heartened many times to hear that I am a place where people can come to talk things through.

My personal values revolve around creating a life that balances modern realities with natural requirements. I like to respect my body’s natural pace and find ways to align that with the daily demands I choose to take on. This includes spending time in nature, enjoying time with my dog, making time for friends, and ensuring there is time to do nothing. I am passionate about sustainability, and respecting the land, its creatures, and fellow humans.

Nice to meet you!

If you’ve been dealing with depression, anxiety, panic, sleep problems, or mood swings, you may feel worn down, stuck, or unsure what to try next. You want relief, but also clear answers, practical options, and someone who takes your concerns seriously. I work with young adults, adults, and seniors who are ready to better understand what’s happening and take steady steps toward feeling more balanced and in control of their mental health.

There are things you have learned to work around instead of talk about, and after a while that starts to feel normal. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors across California, and often with whole families who are trying to get through something together. A lot of my work is with people carrying trauma they have never fully unpacked, parents navigating the emotional weight of pregnancy and new parenthood, and people trying to change a pattern of substance use that has already cost them more than they meant to lose. My goal is to meet you where you are, not where a treatment plan says you should be.
