Hello, I'm Mari. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in working with various age groups, from children, adolescence, and adults to geriatrics. I help men, women, and children work through different struggles of life, such as, school, work, and relationships. I specialize in cognitive behavior therapy to work through anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and addiction. I help individuals gain control of their thoughts, their feelings and emotions; and bring them to a world of empowerment and strength to overcome many of lifes difficulties. The only way to get past it, is to go through it with support, compassion, and understanding. Some coping practices are mindfulness, art therapy, grounding, relaxation breathing, and journaling. I will listen to you and guide you through self reflection to gain awareness and insight in identifying the causes to your struggles. Everyone needs a therapist! Everyone experiences life troubles and difficulties. Getting through life is about the relationships we build and the most important one is the one with yourself because YOU ARE IMPORTANT and YOU MATTER! In our session together, you will be met with genuiness, care, and compassion to provide a safe place for healing and growth. You deserve this for yourself! I look forward to working with you and unveiling your brilliance and strength.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Getting through life is about the relationships we build and the most important one is the one with yourself because YOU ARE IMPORTANT and YOU MATTER! In our session together, you will be met with genuineness, care, and compassion to provide a safe place for healing and growth. I will listen to you, gather historical information, and dive into specific challenges you are facing. I have interest in allowing for you to express your goals and desires in the therapeutic process in which I can tailor a specific plan to meet your needs.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
