I am licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado (since 2011), and received my M.A. in Counseling from Colorado Christian University. Although I have experience providing therapy around a variety of issues, my areas of focus include grief and loss, depression, & transitions/life changes. I'm also passionate about working with clients around compassion fatigue, an issue many of us in service and caretaking-related fields experience at some point.
It is my strong belief that we, as humans, were designed to connect, to be seen and known fully, but isolation and brokenness are often the reality. Augustine wrote about "the unobserved life," referring to the cruciality of self-reflection. I am here to facilitate a more observed life for the purpose of deeper self-awareness, insight into our own strengths and weaknesses, a greater sense of purpose and direction, as well as cultivating empathy and understanding for others. Pain and sorrow are often the means by which we grow. Rather than offering a band aid or "feel better fast" approach, which, I believe, is antithetical to the deep soul work we actually need, I will walk alongside you in your pain, whatever that pain may look like. Research shows that the modality of a therapist matters much less in terms of treatment outcomes than the quality of relationship between therapist and client. As such, I implement an eclectic approach, often using aspects of several different models including CBT, DBT, and existential therapy, but believe the most poignant and lasting change occurs as a result of the genuine human connection found in the therapeutic relationship.
It's important to note that I counsel from a Christian worldview.
As a therapist who values faith-centered perspectives, my goals is to create a welcoming space for clients seeking a conservative, values-aligned approach to healing. I believe therapy works best when your worldview is honored and integrated into our work together.
My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I'm here to walk alongside you as you process complex emotions, rebuild connection, and move forward with greater clarity and peace. Taking the step to seek support is meaningful, and I'm honored to be part of your journey.
Additional areas of focus: Control issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Midlife crisis, Pregnancy and childbirth
Clinical approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy

Marcia provides intuitive questions and seems to filter through the discussion to ask probing questions to dig deeper towards clarity

Marcia is extremely knowledgeable annd approaches everything in a understandable way. It’s like talking to a friend which helps me open up more and feel secure in being honest with her. She also challenges my thinking to broaden my perception. I’ve only had a few sessions and I already know that the gears in my mind are working to develop the skills and systems to process my mental health in a productive way.
