Are you tired of trauma?

We will work together to heal the effects of a painful past and learn to live a life beyond fear.

Do you feel …

  • Helpless, hopeless, guilty or ashamed?

  • In pain, numb, fragile or defenseless?

  • Worthless, self-loathing or like an impostor?

  • Controlled by addictions or unsafe behaviors?

  • Haunted by memories and nightmares?

  • Defeated?

There is nothing wrong with you. It is because of what happened to you. You can heal from the past-no matter how painful or traumatic!

Hello and welcome! I’m Marla.

You are here because it is time to heal from the past and move into your future. I am here to help you identify your needs and goals so that you can realize that future while providing relief from the pain of the past.

Therapy requires hard work, science, a good therapeutic relationship and a little bit of magic. When we work together, you can expect that I will meet you where you are with compassion and kindness while upholding the highest ethical standards and also a few laughs now and again!

I invite you to take the leap and transform your life!

Are you ready to get started?

  1. Let’s schedule a free 15-minute, no obligation telephone consultation. We will discuss what you need, what you hope to achieve and answer your questions. You can decide if you like my vibe.

  2. Let’s schedule a session! If you like what you hear after our phone call, schedule an appointment to start therapy with me. Virtual or face-to -face, I will accommodate your preference. We can meet as frequently or infrequently as you like, depending on your availability and budget.

  3. Let’s get to work! Therapy is an interactive dynamic process. Think of it as a conversation. Whatever is on your mind is where we start.

You are not your trauma.

You can have a life of safety, joy, peace, purpose, meaning and love.
