Marni Troop (LMFT-A) is an Associate Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. Marni spent the first half of her adult life as an educator before changing careers to pursue psychotherapy.

Together, Marni and her clients identify what's no longer working and create new ways of living happy, well-functioning lives.
