Supporting Your Journey to Balance and Authenticity

Welcome, I’m Marie, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

I support individuals, couples, and families navigating the complexities of being human—especially when old patterns and unmet needs keep showing up, leaving you feeling stuck or disconnected. With curiosity and compassion, we’ll explore the experiences that shaped you, so you can cultivate greater connection, authenticity, and freedom in your life.

As your therapist, I see my role as providing a safe and regulated presence while creating a brave space where you feel supported to slow down and tune into your inner world.

A core part of our work will focus on your nervous system, because when your body feels safe, your mind becomes more open to healing. By understanding and working with your survival patterns, you’ll build greater capacity to stay grounded, confident, and connected—both within yourself and in your relationships.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and it’s an honor to walk alongside you as you heal, grow, and reconnect with yourself.

About Marie

My Philosophy

I believe meaningful change begins with curiosity—about ourselves, our patterns, and the beliefs that shape how we move through the world. Through a strengths-based and compassionate approach, I support my clients in deepening their self-awareness and understanding the unique ways their relationships, environments, and cultures influence their lives.

Together, we create what I call a brave space—a place where you can safely explore what's getting in the way of the life you want, reconnect with your inner resilience, and uncover new possibilities for growth and healing. I genuinely look forward to getting to know you and supporting you on your path.

My Approach

  • Attachment Theory

    Feeling securely connected to others creates a foundation of safety that allows us to explore the world, take risks, and grow into our fullest selves. Healthy attachment teaches us that independence and closeness can coexist—strengthening both resilience and self-trust.

  • Polyvagal Theory

    Our nervous system shapes the way we experience ourselves and the world. When we're activated, our body signals danger, and our mind creates stories to match. By working with the nervous system, we can shift from survival states into safety, allowing us to rewrite the narratives that keep us stuck.

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

    EFT helps us identify and work through emotional patterns that create disconnection in relationships. By understanding and expressing our emotions safely, we can strengthen bonds, heal relational wounds, and create lasting change in how we connect with others and ourselves.

  • Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM)

    TRM teaches practical skills to help regulate the nervous system and restore balance after overwhelming experiences. This body-based approach supports healing by reconnecting you with your innate strength and capacity for resilience.

  • Strength-Based Theory

    Rather than focusing solely on what's gone wrong, this approach helps you recognize the ways you've survived, adapted, and grown. By honoring your strengths, we can reframe your story to highlight empowerment, capability, and hope.

  • Person-Centered Theory

    At the core of healing is a safe, genuine, and respectful therapeutic relationship. Person-centered work holds the belief that you are the expert on your own life, and with the right support, you can access your inner wisdom to guide your growth.
