Heal trauma at the root

For the parts of you adapted to survive. And the nervous system still waiting to exhale. I work gently and collaboratively, using parts work and somatic therapy to help your system feel safe enough to shift.

I am Marie

A licensed clinical social worker, I have helped women heal from their trauma for the past 10 years with advanced EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic therapies.More than talk therapy. We slow down and listen to the nervous system to gently reveal what words alone often can’t. Many of my clients feel a shift in the first session as long-held patterns begin to unwind. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, ADHD, or the emotional weight of always being “the strong one,” we’ll work together to create lasting change.I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Boston University and have worked in both private practice and community mental health settings. I am licensed in both Oregon and Arizona.My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and deeply respectful of the pace your system needs to heal.

Testimonial

Marie is absolutely incredible. The energy she holds in your sessions allows such deep unlocking of the various parts of you that you had no idea existed.Not only have I grown an incredible amount working with Marie and become such a whole version of myself that I never thought was possible, I've also just LEARNED an incredible amount about how our minds work, our nervous systems, parts work, and more. To the point where I can actually help myself when I'm not in a session with Marie.And she even helps my 3 year old son as he grows and develops. Both of those are so huge! I feel more equipped to go through life and to raise a well resourced and empowered little one as well.Thank you Marie!- G.M.

Testimonial

Marie came into my life at the perfect moment. I had been wanting to get deeper into my childhood trauma and Marie showed me how to trust myself to go through the process.I trust her immensely: she made space for me to feel all my emotions, heard me when I needed to be heard, and celebrated my progress with me. She guided me gently and didn’t push when I wasn’t ready until I finally saw my parents as human beings. That was my first step toward feeling true empathy and forgiving them. I was able to start spending time with them without feeling rage or worthlessness.They’re in their mid 70s. Now I know I can experience the last decade(s) of my relationship with them with more peace than I’ve ever felt before.- A.B.

Testimonial

Two years ago, my Primary Care Physician told me I would not be a good mother, not because of physical health, but mental health.For 21 years I had lived with a dysregulated nervous system. So when Marie and I delved deep into my nervous system and reprocessing trauma, my autonomic nervous system showed me wounds I never knew I had: father and abandonment wounds.Now I have a newfound safety and confidence in my logical self and within my nervous system. I have now been told, “let us get you off the medications. You will be a great mother.” Marie gives you the tools and confidence to gain strength and power. She helps you find your highest self. I would not be where I am without her and her work of body-focused, trauma-informed therapy.- H.R.
