Hello, and welcome! I'm Marie-Marie, a graduate student in counseling with a deep passion for supporting individuals through their mental health journeys. As someone who comes from an immigrant background and has navigated my own personal experiences with mental health, I bring both professional training and lived understanding to my work.
I believe that healing looks different for everyone, and that a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space is the foundation for real change.
Counseling approach
My practice is rooted in Person-Centered Therapy, developed by Carl Rogers. This approach holds that every person has within them the capacity for growth and self-healing — my role is to walk alongside you, offering empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuine presence rather than directing or prescribing.
I also draw from Career Construction Theory (Mark Savickas), which helps clients explore how their life stories, personal interests, and values shape their career and identity development. I believe our work and our sense of self are deeply intertwined, and I incorporate this lens when supporting clients through identity and life transitions.
Areas of focus
I am especially drawn to working with individuals navigating:
- Anxiety & depression
- Identity & self-esteem
- Immigrant & acculturation experiences
- Life transitions
Experience & training
I am currently completing my graduate program in counseling under clinical supervision. My training includes coursework in multicultural counseling, mental health assessment, career development, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. I am committed to ongoing learning and culturally responsive care.
"I believe that being seen, heard, and understood is one of the most powerful forms of healing."
