Hi! I’m Marlana (she/her). I appreciate you being here! So, who am I and what’s my deal? I’m a neurospicy, nature-loving, creative mom and therapist who really likes working with motivated individuals that want to face the hard stuff and get to know themselves better.

Clients and colleagues have told me that authenticity is my greatest strength, and that means the world to me. I pride myself in being transparent and relaxed in sessions by being kind, honest, and inclusive. I will hold space for difficult and uncomfortable conversations- whether they are scary intrusive thoughts, struggles with shame, guilt or loneliness, feelings of inadequacy despite high achievement or how symptoms interfere with intimacy. I want you to get what you need out of sessions - if you want to feel challenged, I got you. If you want validated and to feel seen, I can do that. If you need structured sessions sometimes and relaxed sessions other times, that’s totally fine. If you want reassurance for your OCD, well, you’re going to be pissed… but I’ll show you what to do instead!

Sometimes roots of an invasive weed take over and make it hard for nearby plants to thrive. I want to roll up my sleeves with you, clear away the dirt and gently untangle those roots from one another, so that you can thrive.
