Meet Marie
I am a licensed social worker with over 20 years of experience in a variety of settings, including Hospice, home-based individual and family therapy, and behavioral health. Currently, my focus and passion is in providing individual therapy to those struggling with a variety of difficulties, including disordered eating, life transitions, depression, anxiety, and personal growth.
My primary modality is Internal Family Systems. IFS therapy allows us to view difficulties in life not as dysfunction, but as forms of self protection that, once acknowledged, heard, and understood, can transform and allow us to heal. I also have extensive training in CBT, which provides opportunity to shift thinking, focusing on challenging thoughts and beliefs that are no longer healthy or beneficial to you.
Clients share with me that they feel fully supported and empowered in our work together, and that they appreciate my insight and compassionate care. In truth, I am deeply grateful for the trust given to me by my clients. I fully believe every individual has the power within to heal themselves. I see my role in therapy as a guide in this process. I would honored to be part of your healing.
Modalities utilized in work with Marie:
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS certified therapist, completed training Levels 1, 2 & 3)
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
-
Strengths-based therapy
-
Mindful and intuitive eating
