Meet the Business Owner

Marianne M.

Business Owner

The ultimate goal of therapy is happiness. Because the need for psychotherapy is often accompanied by emotional vulnerability & pain, & because it can require a great deal of courage to begin, you have a right to expect an atmosphere of safety, an assurance of confidentiality, a highly trained and experienced therapist, & a genuine & authentic fellow being. I offer you that resource.

A fully lived life (including being a wife, mother & grandmother) & decades of having a private practice of psychotherapy have given me experience with a broad range of human problems & clinical solutions. I have seen many clients make changes in their lives that enable them to become more fully self actualized & to move toward their potential. I believe that a sense of inner peace & the capacity for healthy, respectful, intimate, & loving relationships are goals that my clients can achieve. Let me help guide you on your path to living a meaningful life in genuine connection with both yourself & others.
