About Marcie
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist LMFT #131420
Associate Professional Clinical Counselor APCC #8250
Overview
I strive to create a safe and nurturing therapeutic space for adults and teens who are facing major life transitions such as career, college, divorce, or personal loss in finding a joyful and fulfilling path forward. I provide empathetic guidance to the “sandwich generation” – women and men who are raising children while also caring for their elderly parents and struggling with anxiety and depression as they attempt to juggle it all. We are all part of an intricate family system and my goal is to help you find balance and equilibrium, change negative patterns of communication, and foster deeper interpersonal relationships.
Through a variety of therapeutic modalities, we will work together to identify negative patterns of thoughts and behaviors, promote more positive and effective ways of thinking, address unresolved loss, and confront and overcome fears. Your life journey can have challenges and struggles, but there is always a path forward.
Clinical Experience
My clinical background has included working with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents in private practice, school-based settings, and non-profit organizations. My approach is Psychodynamic, Strength-based and Person-Centered and I draw from the tenants of Attachment Theory, Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness and more.
Education
I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology, LMFT/LPCC from Notre Dame de Namur University, an MBA from Harvard University, and a University of California certification in educational counseling with an eye towards learning differences and therapeutic interventions.
