Marie is an AMAZING therapist and I couldn't be more grateful for her. She helped me through a very rough time in my life and I don't know if I would've made it through without her. I can be a very negative thinker sometimes and she's truly aided me in viewing my life from a different perspective. This past year I was diagnosed with ADHD and she was able to provide me with extremely useful coping mechanisms. I'm so thankful for all she has done for me. Thank you so much Marie!

Marie and I worked together for over a year. We just had our last session today and honestly I cannot say enough great and nice things about her. Marie is by far one of the most attentive, thorough, and supportive therapists I have ever had. She really puts in a lot of time and effort into each session and takes detailed notes so that she can follow up to see how you are doing in each area. She is excellent at both holding you accountable and giving you the tools to do so yourself.
Our sessions were both challenging and encouraging, as Marie helped me own up to the hard truths we don't always want to hear, but she also helped me find my inner strength to embark on the path to self improvement. If you want a therapist that is all about dedication, positivity, accountability, self improvement, and teaching people to be self reliant, then Marie is the therapist you should choose. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
10/10 experience for me!
