We all walk a different path, but human emotion is universal. Sometimes our emotions become overwhelming and we feel buried by them, paralyzed. I know this because I've been down those roads and I've come out the other side. My formal training makes me qualified to provide treatment, but my life experiences make me capable of providing care. As a member of the LGBTQ community, nonjudgement is my top priority. I offer a genuinely safe space for ALL.
My holistic approach involves caring for the "whole person", considering the psychological, physical, cultural, and spiritual aspects of the individual. Your input is valuable. Whether it involves medication management, supportive therapy, or psychotherapy, we'll work together to determine the best course of treatment for you.
You've hit a rough patch, but your path brought you here, and I can say with certainty that you're on the right one. Keep going. Take one more step, reach out, and I'll be there to take the next steps with you.
I've experienced firsthand the weight of anxiety and the grip of depression. But from these struggles, I've emerged with a burning resolve to be a light for others. My aim is to serve as a beacon of hope and understanding, offering compassionate care rooted in honesty and clinical expertise.
My approach to treatment is grounded in the belief that healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. My specialties encompass a wide range of conditions, including Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Trauma, Bipolar, and ADHD. My focus lies predominantly on medication management but, above all, I prioritize patient-centered care.
Clients can expect personalized care marked by trust, honesty, and close collaboration. You can trust that in my care, you'll find a sanctuary free from judgment, where your pain is acknowledged, your struggles are validated, and your journey towards wholeness is my highest priority.
When the worry, or the pain, or the fear of our current situation is standing in front of us like a brick wall, what if we could see beyond it? What if we could literally stand on our toes and look OVER it? Would seeing what lies beyond the present change how it's affecting us? When triggered by the right stressors, the genes we are born with can lead to anxiety, depression, mood swings, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, hallucinations. And throughout life, we may experience abuse, neglect, loss, poverty, trauma and situations that make us feel “stuck.”
Most stressors require support via therapy. Some respond better to medications. Whether it's ongoing therapy, medication, or a combination of the two, I will give you the evidence-based research. YOU will decide what's best for you.
As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a PhD in clinical psychology, I have the formal knowledge and experience, but more importantly I've lived through most of the situations listed above.
“I have only met with Marion once so far, but my experience was amazing. She has already given me some tips and advice regarding my issues and she speaks to you like you are a real person. One session with her and I already feel better than I have in weeks.”
I offer adult clients (18-65 yrs), psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication management via telehealth visits treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, and lifestyle coaching. Bringing 20+ years experience in various healthcare roles, I view client care through a holistic, personalized, & collaborative lens. I especially enjoy working with Veterans, LGBTQ+ community, young adults and others facing life changes/ transitions as these are often difficult to navigate without support. My goal is to provide a safe space for all clients to share their feelings and concerns, by starting each session with an open mind. I am a veteran, athlete, a lover of animals & the outdoors.
