I became an LCSW after starting my career as a community-based social worker, supporting individuals and families navigating complex, real-life challenges. That work taught me the value of showing up with presence, respect, and a deep understanding of the systems that impact people’s lives.

My path to becoming a therapist was also shaped by my own experiences with healing and growth. I know what it’s like to do the inner work—to sit with discomfort, learn new tools, and slowly build something stronger from within. That personal insight informs how I show up in the therapy room: with empathy, curiosity, and compassion.

Motherhood has further deepened my approach. It’s taught me about vulnerability, patience, and the ongoing process of becoming—qualities I carry into my work with clients. I believe healing doesn’t happen in isolation; it happens in safe, supportive relationships, and I’m honored to offer that space to others.

Therapist

Hi, it’s Marie. I’m here to help. I understand the vulnerability of what it is like to face new challenges whether it be personal or professional. As a military spouse and clinician, I’ve had my share of this cycle over the past 20 years. My journey has been both challenging and remarkably rewarding. I welcomed both whole-heartedly because they each helped my growth as a person, wife, parent, friend, colleague, and in my profession.

For a total of combined total of 23 years, I’ve been happy to educate and assist my clients with eliminating unhealthy patterns, alleviating daily life stressors, enhancing emotional regulation, improving self-worth, navigating complexities of intimate partner/domestic abuse, family and other relationship dynamics, and trauma (I completed EMDR basic training in 2026, which offers me an additional trauma-informed orientation). I utilize integrated evidenced based approaches in my work.

Taking the initial step to participate in therapy may take all the courage and motivation you have within you. Let’s start there, and we will work together to navigate the landing to a space of what I call R.E.S.T. (Restoration, Empowerment, Stability, Tranquility) for you.
