“I was looking for a therapist that would be a good fit for me. After a handful of failed attempts I finally found Marilyn and she has been a God send! I knew she was a fit immediately.

Marilyn challenges me in ways that help me evolve and expand as a person. She helps me focus on what matters to me most.

With her guidance I feel like I am finally working on creating a life I am excited and passionate about. Marilyn is always so supportive of me and my big dreams.

I never feel like “I am too much” which is not something I had really felt previously.

Marilyn’s presence in my life both challenges and emboldens me. I feel really lucky I get to work with her!”

“I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support and compassion Marilyn provided me during one of the most challenging times in my life.

Her kindness, patience, and ability to truly listen made all the difference as I navigated through loss and grief.

Marilyn offered a safe space where I felt understood and comforted, gently guiding me toward healing at my own pace. Her practical assistance helped me find strength and hope when I needed it most.

Her presence reminded me that even in the darkest moments, there is light and strength to be found. I will always cherish her guidance and her pivotal role in helping me find peace.”

“It took me a while and a string of bad therapists to find the courage to flesh out the enormity of my thoughts into a single coherent statement, but I hope it can help anyone like me who is considering this special opportunity.

One of the most vital elements of successful therapy is having a provider you can bond with and trust, because ultimately, it’s going to be their voice and guidance as a lightpost you turn to when you cannot find your own.

Marilyn is particularly valuable because of her unique and incredible ability to tease out the whispers of yourself beneath all the muck, the glimpses that you might even ignore yourself and in turn uses THAT to inform her guidance. An incredibly empowering experience, with light-bulb moments that feel like a gift at your doorstep.

She is a rare provider who takes the time to actively focus on putting in the work to be Person-centered, consistently practicing compassion and curiosity. Her deep commitment to dreamwork is tangible and inspiring, and her Jungian and Trauma informed training makes for a somatic lifeline, a place you can finally feel safe enough to stop running, understand all that you’ve been carrying, and to put it down.

If you feel chronically confused or disempowered, and long for meaning, to be truly seen or understood, to feel cared for, taken seriously, and feel more than just a collection of symptoms, I cannot recommend Marilyn enough. Good luck, may peace find you.”

“Growing up, I had been born from a mother that I often felt disconnected from, on many levels, at many ages, throughout many years. When I was young, I just knew this to be who my mom was. I didn’t have anything else to compare it to, and therefore, it became our “normal”. It wasn’t until I got older that I realized our mother-daughter relationship may be one of deep dysfunction and complexity, as I looked around to others my age and saw the warm and close bond they had with their own mothers, leaving me feeling quite confused, empty, sad, and alone in our unique dynamic. I knew my mother to be a distant stranger, someone who kept a lot in/to herself, someone who was cold, distant, emotionally unavailable, and rarely showing any sort of affection or intimacy.

Entering into my early twenties, I felt this hole in my chest deeper than ever. I was navigating one of the most pivotal, important, and developmentally significant times in my life, alone. I had felt this disconnection since early childhood, but at this point in my life, it began to weigh on me more than ever.

I didn’t know I was doing this at the time, but upon looking back and reflecting, I see how I intuitively began to find and surround myself with older women whom seemed to embody more of the mother archetype… or what I imagined it to be… warm, nurturing, nourishing, compassionate, loving, affectionate, caring, and supportive. Marilyn was one of the first women I gravitated to in order to begin the process of healing this relationship with my mother.

I felt so seen, heard, understood, genuinely cared for and supported and loved by her, something I hadn’t felt much from my mother my entire life. Having Marilyn by my side throughout my early to late twenties was something of a blessing that I wholeheartedly believe was sent from my angels. It felt like what the dynamic with my mother should’ve been and was always meant to be. Having these natural qualities mirrored back to me in a safe space and secure container, allowed me to begin to stand on my own two feet in the world, feeling Marilyn’s support at my back, I felt more confident and secure to take up more space being my full authentic self. I also began to make contact with my own inner mother and father archetypes to begin to heal from within and on my own outside of our sessions.

And maybe the most beautiful of all is how mine and my mother’s relationship has changed over these — both because of the work I have done with Marilyn, but also because my mom eventually began going to therapy herself.

We worked on so much in our sessions, both in the dream realm, and outside of it, and I am beyond grateful and proud to have been able to call Marilyn my therapist for 5 years straight. I have since taken nearly a full year to myself just to really process and integrate those years and the sessions within them.

Marilyn is an incredibly warm, compassionate, honest, and supportive container creator, space holder, and psychotherapist — someone I deeply trust, feel safe with, and can be my most self with… it was so incredibly healing to be witnessed in all of the emotions and situations and circumstances I had found myself in as my life was often quickly, and deeply, changing in those formative years. At only 28, I truly know and believe I would not be who I am today in my life without the incredible guidance, advice, support, and encouragement from Marilyn — for even without all of that, her presence alone, is enough to change your life.”
