About Marcia

I am real, and your search is over. You've found a warm, caring, compassionate advanced practice nurse who has worked in the mental health field for more than forty years. I'm a graduate of two of the top nursing schools in the US, and a member of two honor societies. I'm board certified as an Adult Psychiatric Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

I maintain and am proud of my identity as a nurse. It's not just a job to me; it's my core, and a huge part of who I am.

On a personal level, maybe you'd like to know that I have life experience as a daughter, therapy client, mother, aunt, niece, colleague, wife, life partner, ex, friend, and sister — and not necessarily all at the same time or with the same person.

I've been a therapy client myself with depression and anxiety, so I understand what you're going through. I've also been recovering from disordered eating for more than 50 years. Ask me about peanut butter!

I've traveled to every continent and bring a unique, worldly perspective to therapy. I'm an "out-of-the-box" person, therapist, and nurse.

I'm active, involved, and I talk. My practice is eclectic, which means I can tailor my approach specifically to you. But you are your own best expert on you.

Beyond techniques and frameworks, I believe the most important therapeutic tool is the relationship we build together. My priority is to create a space where you feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely understood. We'll move at your pace, honor your boundaries, and celebrate your progress, no matter how small it might seem.

I also shut up when you talk. I let you have your session.
