Client Testimonials

Marla is an exceptional counselor. She is highly skilled and trained, intuitive, empathetic, and has an amazing ability to bring issues to a point and ask the exact right questions to bring insights and change. It was an invaluable experience. I still keep in touch for tune-ups.

Therapy with Marla is very gratifying. I’m a more complete individual, husband, father, and friend. The work to rediscover myself and the accessibility I’ve gained to my feelings is something I’m very proud of. Marla makes that self-work exciting, energizing, and purposeful.

With Marla’s support, I was able to leave a long-term relationship that was very unhealthy for me. Her support enabled me to move on and thrive very quickly.

I’m proud to say that I’m a changed man and I feel really good about that. I’ve been able to let go of my anger, be more aware of why I feel like I do, and I have the tools and practice to be the version of myself that I want to be. I get to keep improving and exploring myself.

Marla helped me through a very challenging time, which was my first focus when starting to meet with her. Once I got more clarity and changed behaviors around that pressing issue, I continued meeting with her to unravel other parts of myself. I can confidently say I came out a changed person.

Working with Marla is invaluable to my family. She truly cares about her clients, is patient, kind, focused, and asks just the right questions. In true emergency situations, she was also reachable and available for a check-in outside of scheduled appointments, which made a huge difference.
