Hi, I’m Marianne.
Experiences in life can be as difficult as they are transformational. I’m here to help you navigate the challenges, celebrate the wins and find meaning in the process.
As a psychotherapist, I practice from an attachment-focused and relational lens - meaning we’ll consider the impact early (and current!) relationships have shaped your emotional and social experiences. I believe therapy works best when the work is collaborative and the most important factor in successful outcomes is the relationship between therapist/client, regardless of the modality we use.
In addition to therapy, I am a certified 200hr yoga instructor and Reiki II trained. I offer these services individually or in combination with therapy. Outside of work you can find me hiking, starting and not finishing so many hobbies, and cooking (currently in my baking bread era).
