Marianne brings a wealth of experience to her sessions which shows in the way she listens, understands and supports her clients. I especially like how she can use humour to bring levity to a tense situation & how she creates an open environment to share. Marianne also incorporates a variety of therapy styles which I like & she understands how our past impacts our present. Highly recommend working with her, she is very good at what she does and cares about her clients wellbeing & success.

Marianne Is The Best

Written on Aug 01, 2024 after therapy with Marianne for 4 months on issues concerning relationship

Marianne listens carefully and provides wise advice. This has got to be hard because of all the emotion and conflicting perspectives flying around in couples therapy. She always manages to see what's true but doesn't "take" sides.

Marianne was extremely fair in her responses for me and my husband. I never felt like anything was one-sided and we were given tools and explanations for effective communication. My husband and I came to therapy preemptively and we're so glad that we tried it out and got paired with Marianne.
