Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Hello! I’m Marianne, your ally in navigating life’s complexities. As a Gen X woman, I wear many hats—I’m a caring wife, a loving dog mom, a therapist, a self-care advocate, and a fan of Reeses Cups and the ocean. My mission is to help people lead lives that align with their values, dreams, and goals.
I work with amazing, strong individuals who want to be heard, set meaningful goals, manage stress, and live their best, authentic lives. If you seek productive conversations, good vibes, warmth, and laughter, we might be a great fit.
With nearly 30 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I’ve built a reputation for being kind-hearted and humorous. Clients describe me as warm, open, encouraging, and direct, creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment. I aim to be an ally, helping you lighten the load while offering dependable support in your journey of growth and development. Whether you’re rediscovering parts of yourself or building healthier, more fulfilling relationships, I’m here to help.
