As a licensed therapist, I believe prioritizing your mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. I know that reaching out for help is difficult, and you are taking the first steps. I’ve been practicing for 25 years and my main focus to female clients who are struggling with anxiety and depression.

Life can be challenging, and in those moments we may lose touch with our true selves. Reaching out for support takes courage and is an important first step. With over 18 years of experience, my approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual’s needs. I work primarily with adults using an integrative approach that includes Psychodynamic Therapy, CBT, EMDR, and Mindfulness. I have extensive experience supporting individuals in creative and caregiving fields, helping them reconnect with themselves, build resilience, and find balance. I also work with adult children of caregivers who struggled with substance abuse and mental health issues such as Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Every new beginning starts with one step and you don't have to take it alone. I’m Marsha, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m glad you’re here.

Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness and you don’t have to navigate difficult seasons of life alone. With more than 30 years of experience supporting individuals and families through a wide range of life transitions, including emotional well-being, relationship and family issues, trauma, medical concerns, caregiver support, and other stressful circumstances you may have encountered.

Serving Veterans, families, homelessness, and vulnerable adults to create a path toward greater balance and well-being. My goal is not to tell you how to live your life, but to walk alongside you, listen, provide support, and help you discover the path that feels right for you.

I am intuitive and open minded. I believe it is important for the client to be safe and comfortable to share the good and the bad. If you feel an approach is not working feel free to be honest about this in session so we can discuss options to get past stuck points.

I have been doing this work since 2009 — which means I have sat with a lot of people through a lot of different kinds of hard. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling with a dual focus in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy, and my career has moved through two distinct chapters that have shaped how I practice. The first half was spent in the world of substance use — working with individuals and families where the stakes were high and the complexity was real. The last several years have been in private practice, where I've worked with the full range of human struggle: depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, substance use disorders, parenting stress, and the disorienting moments when life shifts beneath your feet. I work with individuals, couples, and groups. Very few things surprise me at this point — and that's exactly what makes this work feel safe.
