(she/her)
I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical counselor. I have worked treating trauma, depression, anxiety, PTS, mood disorders, adjustment disorders and other mental illnesses. I have facilitated child abuse intervention groups for child abuse perpetrators. I also enjoy facilitating coparenting groups for adults who are going through divorce or separation to shield children from conflict.
In the first session you can expect to be greeted with a non-judgemental stance. I will conduct an initial assessment that will help me create a treatment plan that meets your goals in therapy.
My greatest strengths as a provider is that I am here to help you reach your goals and healing journey. I am a good listener. I strive to maintain a professional environment for you to feel comfortable and safe.
I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults. I am trained on TF-CBT, an empirical base therapeutic approach to treat trauma in children. I am EMDR trained, this means I provide EMDR treatment under a certified EMDR therapist.

Marianna has always has a calming presence to her. I always feel like she listens on a level that makes me feel empowered and vulnerable to share. Her tools to get me through the week have helped me immensely. She is reassuring and very direct when it comes to navigating my feelings which has been a huge help in my healing journey.
