Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registered Play Therapist in the state of Florida. I have over 25 years of counseling experience with a wide variety of clients and issues. Most recently I have focused on depression and anxiety in teens and young adults. My approach is client centered and solution focused. I enjoy being able to foster personal growth through creating a safe, nonjudgmental atmosphere in which people feel comfortable to express themselves freely. I believe that each individual has the answers to his or her own questions and it is my privilege to be a witness to this process. I endeavor to bring warmth and validation to every encounter.
Please feel free to contact me for counseling sessions.

Marla is fantastic, can not do enough to help and works with what you give them and its very reassuring. I have had a good few sessions and it helps no end to have the ability to contact and get messages back so swiftly. The sessions are always a good way of me working on how I am feeling and dealing with my issues and have helped me so much. I can not thank Marla enough.

I was getting help from Marla for a month and she has helped with my anxiety a lot. The biggest part was her boosting my own self worth. I'd love to have continued but I was only signed up for a month however I felt much better and didn't feel the need to continue thanks to her.

Marla is an extremely caring and insightful therapist! I have had other therapists in the past who were nice, but Marla is the first therapist with whom I feel wholly supported and heard. She is also great with scheduling, response times, and utilizing the tools of the BetterHelp platform. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist.

Marla has been a great resource as I deal with some really complex emotions and situations. She is responsive to my posts and offers well thought and compassionate responses. I'm looking forward to sharing more of my thoughts with Marla as I work through them, and expect that she will continue to support me on this Journey.
