I am a licensed professional counselor living in the great state of Texas. I daily engage in reading, exercise, and quality time with my husband and children. I enjoy hearing the life stories of others, and addressing the wounds and toxic thinking that keep us bound in unhealthy choices and behaviors. I want to help you become a lifelong overcomer!

My treatment methods

Compassion Focused

I believe in life on life changes. When one knows his or her worth and is validated in that by another, healing takes place in a deep and enduring manner.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

As a person thinks in his or her heart (mind, soul), so he or she becomes. Correct thinking results in correct acting, addressing emotional wounds with compassion and support.

Marla is so caring and that attitude combined with was professionalism left me feeling hopeful and confident in overcoming my lifestyle that has.caused me to seek help to overcome feelings of being overwhelmed. It felt great to be able to talk about my issues and not be judged.
