Marjorie holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling and is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia. With more than three years of clinical experience, she has supported adults through trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the complex challenges unique to women's mental health. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply rooted in the belief that every person has the capacity for growth and change. She creates a space where you can show up exactly as you are.
You deserve to feel like yourself again.
First session
The first session is really about getting to know each other. I'll ask about what brought you in, a bit about your history, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. There's no pressure to share everything at once — we go at your pace. By the end, we'll have a sense of whether we're a good fit and what working together might look like.
Strengths
You are the expert on your own life. Marjorie's role is to offer tools, perspective, and a steady presence. Healing isn't just cognitive. Marjorie attends to the emotional, relational, and physical dimensions of your wellbeing. "I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is one of the most powerful agents of change. When you feel genuinely safe and seen, something shifts. You begin to trust your own instincts again. You start to recognize your strength. My deepest hope for every client is not just symptom relief — it's a life that feels authentically yours."
Ideal clients
Therapy is a collaborative process where you and I work together to explore what's bringing you in, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop tools and insights that support lasting change. Sessions are confidential, non-judgmental, and entirely focused on you. Most people find that simply having a dedicated space to be honest — without worrying about how it affects someone else — is itself deeply valuable.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Connecting a clients thoughts ("they hate me"), emotions (feels abandoned) and behaviors (avoids seeing them at work) to help solve current problems (feeling anxious about going to work).
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I will work with client and teach skills in emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
EMDR
I guide clients through a structured 8 phase protocol. I use bi-lateral stimulation (the client can choose either tactile or visual) to help reprocess maladaptively stored traumatic and distressing memories.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
The human mind is seen as a system of multiple subpersonalities (Parts). I use this modality when there is trauma related dissociation or if it is a proper fit for a client.
Strength-Based
I guide my clients as we focus on their skills, resilience and personal resources.
