Hi there! I’m Marlee and I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, alone, confused or stuck, I believe you deserve to have a place free of judgment or shame to process, make positive changes, and emerge with renewed hope. I hope you find the information you need below, but if you have any questions feel free to reach out as I would love to connect!
You may be here on this site because of a complicated relationship, a newfound feeling of stress, lifelong suffering, or a desire to improve an aspect of your life; whatever brings you here, I think you are brave for starting this search. I believe that we were all made with value and purpose that may become cloudy as life’s difficulties and pain leave their mark. I think it is a courageous act to refuse to let this be the end of the story. I see counseling as an opportunity to regain agency over the direction of our lives, and I’d be honored to join you in that place of exploration and transformation. The foundation of our sessions would be focused on building a trusting relationship with a common goal and using engaging, creative ways to address patterns that no longer serve you. I operate from a client-centered, experiential approach that is rooted in attachment theory. I work with clients of all identities and backgrounds, while I tend to work primarily with adolescent girls and adult women. I hope to offer clients a space to take a breath, to heal, to be seen, and to grow.

A Little More About Me...

I graduated from UTC and love being a Chattanoogan. When I’m not counseling, I spend most of my time with my amazing husband and two daughters, probably hiking or kicking the soccer ball around the yard. I love eating good food, reading a book until the last chapter, and finding new ways to get sunshine and move. I am passionate about continuing to grow as a therapist and plan to pursue training in internal family systems (IFS) and accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP).
