Do you feel exhausted by life and struggle to feel at ease with yourself and your relationships? Maybe it’s nearly impossible for you to relax. Life often feels too difficult and unmanageable. You’re hit with one huge challenge after another. No matter how hard you try, it’s never good enough.

I began working in mental health in 2009, and became a therapist in 2015. During that time I have worked in a variety of eating disorder and DBT treatment centers, and have enjoyed working with adults and adolescents while they move towards creating positive routines and coping skills to support their goals. I have a warm and supportive approach, and utilize DBT, CBT, mindfulness, humor, and strengths-based treatment with my clients.

Our broad goal––of course––is “the end of unnecessary suffering.” Sound about right? While we all strive for this, I specialize in helping folks with a very-unique kind of suffering: OCD. I can tell you that few people understand the pain and complexity of OCD—(even most therapists). I will listen intently to your unique story. Just know that I can introduce you to an arsenal of tools that can help: mindfulness, ERP (exposure and response prevention) and on and on. Yes, thoughts can be “sticky.” But––with hard work––if (or when) those thoughts come back around…they can be as quiet & as harmless as a yellow post-it.

I work with children and adults who are seeking stability through life events and stressors. My clients are ready to approach change and healing with a clinician who understands their hesitation and uncertainty. Life transitions and unexpected events can activate parts of us that feel disorganized, fearful, and lost. You don’t have to figure out the hardest moments of your life alone. I can be reflective and curious alongside you through these life transitions that often can be hard to navigate.

"Fear and self-doubt have always been the greatest enemies of human potential." -Brian Tracy. At Like a Phoenix, we would love to show every person we serve, his/her inner strength. We believe we all have potential. Many of us have been, at some point of our lives, discouraged by some unsuccessful experiences. However, we have a deep faith that, with the right help, everyone is able to fulfill his/her potential and be the person he/she wants to be. We would like to be a part of this process, the process of success and happiness, the process of rising from our aches like a Phoenix rises from its ashes.

Waitlist for new clients
Not currently accepting new clients, inquire for waitlist! I primarily treat clients who struggle with eating disorders, body image concerns, and struggles with self-esteem.

I want to support clients in both understanding how deeper issues of self affect external behaviors, as well as how to create more adaptive and sustainable coping. I have worked in all levels of eating disorder treatment and have worked with many co-occuring diagnoses.

It is part of the human experience that things can and will pop up to derail our trajectory, creating barriers in areas where we had no difficulty before. I have spent much of my career working with people who, for one reason or another, have had their trajectory derailed and are working to get back on track. As difficult as it might be, looking for a therapist who is a good fit is one of the most important steps in the process of beginning to take your life back. I'm so glad you're here.

Through working with children, adolescents, and adults, Marina is often approached by parents who have a concern about their child. Contemporary parenting is challenging. In the Internet Age, it can also be isolating, as parents may compare their children and family to idealized social media versions of peer families. If left unchecked, anxiety can take hold of one’s body and mind with inevitable repercussions on the family system. Working with Marina, families can learn to move past negative cycles of blame, guilt, and stress and toward more positive responses such as appropriate validation and support.
