Marikay has been an absolute Godsend for me. She’s compassionate, caring, empathetic and helpful in a way I didn’t think counselors/therapists could be. She changed my way of thinking and is helping me to believe I am worthy and capable. She’s changed my life in the best way!!

I have only been in one session with her and I already feel like I can connect with her very well. She's amazing.
