About me

Healing and discovery starts from wherever you are!

I believe that therapy is about the discovery of possibilities, of alternatives, about thinking better of one’s self! It may include revisiting the past, healing wounds,
or finding strengths that you didn’t know you had! It may be about finding purpose, finding your way, making things better, discovering hope, or feeling heard! It can be about knowing that you have a place in this world, or discovering that you’re ‘good enough’—just as you are!

I believe in Person-Centered Therapy; in other words—you are at the center of your world and therapy, (making things better), can start from wherever you are! I also believe that we are all products of both our inherited characteristics and our environments and that no one succeeds alone! We all need help from time to time! We need each other!

For over 13 years, I have been listening and helping professionally. However, as a daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, employee, friend, student, fellow traveler on this human journey, I have been listening and helping all of my life.

Let me join You on your journey!

I’m very thankful for Marilyn and her expertise. I feel safe talking to her

Written on Jan 21, 2023 after therapy with Marilyn for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and grief

Marilyn has been a tremendous help in my therapy journey. While recently experiencing significant life events, Marilyn has helped me to understand how my past has an affect on how I've approached issues.

I am confident that our sessions will assist me in developing tools and a more comprehensive view of how to deal with life's challenges moving forward.

I highly value Marilyns expertise and can't recommend her enough!

Marilyn is lovely. She is a very attentive listener and asks good, provocative questions that help me think about situations in a way that I had not previously.

Marilyn really listens and helps me feel supported, heard, validated and has great resources to share regarding the various things we discuss. I’d highly recommend her to anyone seeking therapy.

Wonderful. Patient. Caring. Insightful.

Written on Feb 18, 2022 after therapy with Marilyn for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues, and trauma and abuse

Marilyn has been very helpful over the course of the two months of my subscription. Her presence is calming and I looked forward to my EMDR sessions with her each week. Throughout my time working with her she had an open/flexible schedule and was great at returning any messages I sent. I would recommend her as a therapist to anyone joining. Thank you Marilyn.
