Down-to-earth therapy for new moms, women, and couples.
Service Offerings
New Moms
You are so not a failure. (Parenting is just stupidly hard.) Learn to trust yourself in this radically new life you’ve stepped into.
Couples
You're not off track, just navigating new terrain. Uncover the tools to deepen your communication and connection.
Women
You struggle with anxiety, burnout, and that voice in your head second-guessing your every move. Get the support you need.
You want to feel like the most empowered, capable, alive version of yourself.
The problem is...
You lack practical steps to find alone time, know what words to say when your partner is triggering you up the wazoo, or discern your first step toward moving out of the career you're tolerating but not lit up about.
You feel disempowered, frustrated, and worried – and either mad at yourself for it, guilty for trying to take care of yourself, or resentful toward those (people or circumstances) who seem to stand in your way.
Here's the thing - therapy can help.
We'll work to get clear on your actual needs, get honest about them in your relationships, embrace your fabulous limits and boundaries, and make choices that resonate with your "hell yes!"
Imagine if you took the path to greater joy and satisfaction in daily life…
Embrace your limits and set healthy boundaries
Improve communication in your relationships
Learn to trust (and even follow) your gut instincts
Hi, I’m Marina.
I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist. Using Client-Centered therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Nonviolent Communication, and spiritually-rooted therapy, I help new moms and women recover their sense of power, voice, and self-trust – in parenting, in intimate relationships, and in offering their gifts to this world.
I help couples break free of blame and resentment and self-responsibly communicate to be the honest, loving, vulnerable, and compassionate partners they once were with each other (and deserve to be again).
It’s easy to get started…
Step 01.
Schedule your free, 20-minute consultation.
Step 02.
We’ll chat via phone to see if we’re a good fit.
Step 03.
On the call, we’ll schedule your first session.
I understand how miserable it can be to feel powerless, confused, and like a shell of your former self.
That's why I give new moms, women, and couples a safe space to share their indescribable feelings, to validate the heck out of their needs and longings, and to help them access their own grounded, embodied, don't-mess-with-me wisdom and self-compassion – their in-the-bones knowing that was always there and just needed to be sought after and unearthed.
Book a time with me, so you can get out of the rut of feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected from your true abilities and re-ignite the self-compassion, self-trust, and freedom that is your birthright.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
In my work I use IFS, a form of therapy predicated on the radical notions that we all contain a bunch of parts (at times contradicting and at each other’s throats), that this is totally okay rather than pathological, and that you can find clarity and help your more extreme and burdened parts out by accessing “Self” — your already-existing kind, calm, strong, wise essence. IFS therapy empowers you to be your own best friend and ally, and to hold yourself (and your many parts) with compassion and tenderness while making effective change.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
I also use NVC, a radically transformative communication practice for individuals, couples, and communities alike. Therapy with NVC gives you down-to-earth, practical help when you don’t know how the heck to respond to your stressed-out partner, or how to initiate that scary conversation with a friend.
I’m a Certified NVC Trainer, and can help you with communication tools and practices to empower you to be your most free, compassionate, and honest self when it counts.
