As a licensed therapist in Massachusetts , I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions with empathy and evidence-based strategies.
I specialize in working with addictions, older adults and those experiencing social isolation, relationship difficulties, and personal transformation. My approach focuses on building self-love, improving communication skills, and addressing underlying patterns of guilt, shame, and emotional control.
Drawing from extensive training in trauma-informed care, I help clients heal from past experiences, manage panic symptoms, and develop resilience through collaborative, strength-based therapeutic techniques. My goal is to create a supportive environment where individuals can explore their inner world, reconnect with their inherent worth, and cultivate meaningful personal growth.

Marian is the best in the biz! I don’t know what I’d do without her guidance, compassion, and support over the past two years! I highly recommend her for anyone who wants some real, tangible help in life.
