Meet Marina

I specialize in helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. If you find yourself stuck in recurring patterns or carrying experiences that still feel unresolved, you don’t have to work through it alone. Many of the people I work with are insightful and capable, yet notice the same themes showing up in relationships, work, or how they relate to themselves. Together, we gently explore these patterns and identify underlying negative beliefs that may be shaping how you see yourself. Often these beliefs are formed through earlier experiences.

I validate, honor, and empathically listen to your experiences, while supporting you in finding ways to help manage unwanted symptoms.
