Meet Marsha

I use a psychodynamic approach with all clients and draw from cognitive behavioral skills and a strengths-based perspective. I specialize in supporting those navigating grief and loss, substance use, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I have worked with a variety of populations in both community mental health and private practice settings, helping clients gain insight and build coping skills to move toward healing and growth.
