Have you wondered if you might be Autistic or have ADHD? Have you been exploring your identity or how your brain works? Do you feel burnt out from masking in your relationships, in school, or at work? My name is Marika (she/her; pronounced "mar-ih-kuh") and I understand the unique challenges late-diagnosed/late-recognized individuals face. I will join you with non-judgment as you navigate this next chapter. I work with teens (13+), young adults, and adults to find your unique path to well-being. As a therapist, I strive to create an inclusive, anti-racist, HAES-informed, neuro-affirming, and LGBTQ2IA+ affirming counseling practice.

When working with me, we will explore the story of your life and what brought you here. My approach is based in Attachment Theory, Intersectional Feminism, and Trauma-Informed practices. I also draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, and Person-Centered Psychology to provide holistic counseling.

In counseling, we will collaborate to work toward your desired outcomes. While I have experience and knowledge in counseling, you are the expert in your life and what is best for you. Counseling can be a big step and I will meet you with warmth, encouragement, understanding, compassion, and a little humor.

Accepting New Clients

Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying the weight of anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, or painful experiences from the past. Reaching out for therapy is an important step, and it's one you don't have to take alone. My goal is to provide a supportive, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

Like the Ponderosa Pine, healing often involves resilience, growth, and adapting to life's challenges. I believe that even difficult experiences can become opportunities for greater self-awareness, connection, and personal growth. Through individual counseling, we'll work together to better understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, strengthen communication and coping skills, and build healthier relationships with yourself and others.

Whether you're seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship concerns, or personal growth, our work will be tailored to your unique needs and goals. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you find greater balance, joy, and peace in your everyday life. Together, we can create lasting changes that support your well-being now and in the future.

It takes courage to ask for support, and reaching this point is often the first step toward change. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can offer a space to better understand yourself and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

I provide telehealth therapy for adolescents and adults. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from a variety of evidence-based and client-centered approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, person-centered therapy, expressive arts, and parent skills training.

Together, we'll identify goals that are meaningful to you, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools for managing life's challenges. Therapy looks different for everyone, and we'll work together to find an approach that feels right for you. You don't have to navigate this alone.
