rooted in compassion, growing toward wellness

Let’s grow together, as you heal, thrive, and discover your authentic self

The Rooted Approach

In the same way that a flower blooms and a tree grows strong when deeply rooted in a nourishing environment, I believe we all thrive when we create a space where we can connect with our true, authentic selves. We’ll work together to help you find that grounding so you can flourish. Everything you need to thrive is already alive within you. As a therapist, I’m here to help you build on your unique strengths, inner wisdom, and intuition. I’ll be there to support you every step of the way with a deep belief in your ability to grow.

If you’re ready to create lasting change, find balance, and feel more at home in your life, I’m here to help. Life can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, you can navigate its challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and peace.

Hi,

I’m Marlee

I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges, discover their strengths, and feel more grounded in who they are. My approach to therapy is compassionate, down-to-earth, and collaborative, rooted in a deep belief in your ability to grow. Along the way, I’ll show up as my authentic self as well, bringing humor and a lighthearted playfulness when needed to lighten up the dark.

I work with adolescents and adults, supporting them through a wide variety of experiences including life transitions, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, relational concerns, identity exploration, and more. Whether you're looking to heal, thrive, or simply gain more clarity, I’m here to support you on your unique path. It’s truly an honor to walk alongside my clients as they uncover their strength and move toward the life they want.

“It was when I stopped searching for home within others and lifted the foundations of home within myself I found there were no roots more intimate than those between a mind and body that have decided to be whole.”
