Therapy for people who are tired of holding it all together.
I help adults with anxiety, burnout and old hurts that still show up today. Sessions in my office or online, with evening times for people who work all day.
Free 15-minute call
Pick a time. I'll call you, and you can ask anything.
Who I usually work with
Most people who reach out are capable and busy, and have been carrying something alone for too long.
The overthinker
Your mind replays conversations at 2 a.m. You know the worry isn't logical, and knowing that hasn't made it stop.
The one who keeps going
Something hard happened years ago. You moved on, but your body still reacts to things you can't always name.
The helper
Nurses, teachers, parents. You look after everyone else, and there's very little left over for you.
How getting started works
No forms to fill in before we've even spoken.
A free phone call
Fifteen minutes to tell me what's going on. I'll say honestly whether I'm the right fit, and if not, who might be.
Your first session
Fifty minutes to talk through what brought you here and what you'd like to feel different. Share only what you're ready to.
Weekly, then less often
Most people meet weekly at first. As things settle, we space sessions out. You decide when you're done.
What we might use
Talking helps, but anxiety and stress live in the body too. I combine a few well-researched approaches.
EMDR
Helps your brain file away painful memories so they stop feeling like they're happening now.
Internal Family Systems
A gentle way to understand the parts of you that worry, criticise or shut down.
Body-based tools
Simple ways to calm your nervous system that you can use between sessions.
Hi, I'm Maren.
I've been a counselor for eleven years, first in a community clinic and now in private practice. I work with adults who are good at coping and want to stop having to cope so hard.
My office is quiet, a little plant-heavy, and has easy parking. Sessions are warm and direct. I'll never push you to talk about something before you're ready.

Common questions
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes, by secure video for anyone living in the state. Many clients mix office and online sessions.
How long does therapy usually take?
It depends on what brings you in. Many people feel a real change within eight to twelve sessions; deeper work takes longer. We check in on progress together.
Do you have evening appointments?
Yes, Tuesday and Thursday until 8 pm. They fill quickly, so mention it on your free call.
What if I need help right now?
If you're in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911. I'm not able to provide emergency support.
Prefer to send a message?
Leave your name and the best way to reach you. I reply within one working day.
