Marie has been an impactful voice in my life. She challenges your thinking and helps you to think about yourself from different angles. While I normally prefer therapists with a softer touch, she was able to move me in directions I needed to be moved. If you’re looking for someone to take you out of your box, Marie is the one for you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Marie is wonderful! She is patient and kind and I am so grateful to have connected with her as my therapist!
Marie is a very good therapist. She really takes time to listen and her communication is perfect. I initially had a lot of resistance about starting therapy but she put me at ease very quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs therapy.
Marie has made a real impact in my life. Joining BetterHelp when I did and selecting Marie as my therapist has been by far the most respectful thing I’ve done for myself in three years. She encouraged me to love on my self better and to not be small minded. That’s when I know I’m in the right place. Those around me can see the difference in my demeanor.
One of the first therapists who actually tells you about yourself with grace in a non judgmental way that makes you really reflect on yourself and the things you express you want to work on. She corrects you yet recognize and validate you. Most effective therapist I’ve ever had.
