I have experience in helping clients coping with addictions, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression.

Marylyn is so sweet! I've never been good at opening up to people especially therapists but I feel like I can with her. She checks in on me and makes me feel like I'm heard and valued. I appreciate her so much!
