It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help when you’re feeling overwhelmed and stuck due to mental health and substance use issues. You don’t have to fight these issues on your own. I specialize in helping adults of any age with issues of anxiety, depression, trauma and alcohol/drug use, including when issues of mental health and substance use occur at the same time.
I understand there are many different paths in how a person can overcome and manage their struggles in mental health and substance use. My therapeutic approach to help each client find their best path by providing sessions that are client centered, strengths based, non-judgmental, empathetic and accepting of everyone. Together we’ll generate healthy and empowering ways to problem solve, improve communication, manage strong emotions, build/repair relationships and other support systems, and find ways to maintain recovery. I also have 10 years of experience in working with clients who are justice involved via court, parole and probation systems.

Hello, I appreciate you taking the time to read my bio and I am looking forward to meeting with you. I believe everyone is on a unique walk and will face situations they could have never prepared for at some point in their life.
I have been married for 18 years and have 5 terrific children. I enjoy trying new things and some of my favorite past times are spending time with my family, working on cars, enjoying music, hiking, fishing, and adventuring in new towns. My education actually started in Mechanical Engineering but I felt called to go into the helping professions and have been volunteering or working in a helping role since 2001. My blend of education and over 10 years of experience is what makes me unique as I strive in helping others in clarify their vision and making it a reality.
I specialize in working with men, couples, adolescents, active duty military, first responders, and Veterans, but enjoy helping people no matter where they are in life.
I am most impactful as a counselor helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, school or work issues, couples counseling, low self-esteem, family counseling, gambling addiction and those struggling with grief or life changes.
Again thank you for taking the time to learn a little about myself and the experience that I can bring in this therapeutic relationship. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Welcome! I specialize in working with survivors of emotional abuse/narcissistic abuse and women in recovery.
Do you struggle with balancing work and family obligations, only to find yourself coping in unhealthy ways? Have you ever wondered if you are drinking too much and if it's becoming a problem? Do you "reward" yourself in the evening with alcohol because you've made it through a tough day of work and kids activities? If you're ready to look at healthier ways to cope and live with more peace and contentment, I can help!
Do you feel like you are walking on eggshells with your partner? Are you constantly belittled or humiliated by your partner and are being controlled or manipulated? Prevented from reaching out to family and friends? Together, we can break the isolation and regain your own personal power and self-esteem.
I know that reaching out for help can be challenging, and I want to commend you for taking this brave step towards healing. Together, we can work towards creating a brighter, healthier, and a more hopeful future. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

We all have the ability to be our best self. My role is to help you to tap into your potential and encourage personal growth while providing the space that you need to rethink patterns of thought and behavior that no longer provide you with the outcome that you desire.

I believe that the relationship between counselor and client is very important and I feel that real change begins in an environment where you feel comfortable and validated.
Wherever you are in your life or healing process, I will meet you there and provide the support that you need. You can live your best life when you fully accept yourself. Finding comfort and peace within yourself and in your life is the greatest gift that you can give yourself. Let's work together to make this a reality for you.

Are you looking for therapy that is more than just friendly talk? Have you been looking for not only support and understanding from a therapist but also practical solutions?
Then you have come to the right place.
I am a psychologist with over 30 years of clinical experience. My specialization is cognitive-behavior therapy, which is the approach to therapy most supported by scientific research. Not only am I clinician but I am also a professor, teaching courses in counseling and research to doctoral students, and a published author, having written two books on applying scientific research to clinical work and academic papers on clinical psychology and neuropsychology.
In my opinion, therapy works best when a strong understanding of human psychology is mixed with strong clinical skills, compassion and encouragement. One of my favorite endorsements from a past patient, and a statement that I think summarizes my clinical approach pretty well, is "Dr. Marston is a great psychologist. He can be tough sometimes but that is what I needed".
I look forward to helping you!!
