A big thank you to the parents that have been calling for therapy for their teens and have had to be patient about the fact that we have a waiting list right now.

Marlie believes that while adolescence can be a challenging and difficult time, it is also a time of creativity, self-discovery and personal growth- this is why she loves working with teens. She uses a diverse therapeutic approach to best meet the needs of the unique individuals she works with. Personally, nature, physical activity and mindfulness play major roles in my life and contribute to my overall well-being. As Brené Brown says, “owning our stories and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do”. She’s passionate about working with people through the brave process of owning their own stories and developing love and compassion for themselves along the way.
