Hey there! You’re a high achiever and perfectionist who is doing it all. But you’re stressed and anxious. Although you’re surrounded by people, you can’t help feeling all alone. You’re looking for a therapist to help you to silence the inner critic that’s always telling you that you’re an impostor and you’ll never be good enough. You’re looking for a middle path – where you can find balance.
I’m Marinelle, a therapist & unbreakable optimist. My mission is to empower you to
trust & know in your knower, that you are both a masterpiece & a work of art in progress.
I’m so glad that you found me. I’m originally from California. But as an active duty military spouse, home is where the military sends us…which at the moment happens to be in New Jersey.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialty in counseling & organizational leadership, who by nature is a ‘glass half full’ kind of gal. I guide high achieving people-pleasers in California, Georgia, New Jersey & Texas to their middle path- so that they can integrate what they know in their heads with what they feel in their hearts. I’m dedicated to inspiring others to live aligned with their unique values, passions & purpose – because the world needs more of you in it!
I’ve had the privilege of working with countless people over the last 20 years become the best version of themselves.
We can balance self-acceptance with self-improvement. It doesn’t have to be one or the other…we can do both.
You don’t have to deal with the anxiety, pressure and stress alone. We will work together through a compassionate & collaborative partnership to identify & challenge the thoughts, emotions & actions that are holding you back.
I’ve been featured in publications such as NBC News, Elite Daily & Bustle.
I have the ability, experience & knowledge to help you get unstuck. Transform the way you live, love & lead.
You’re ready for change. Contact me today to set yourself on a path towards balance!
