Welcome
Meet Maryrose
Hello and welcome. I am so glad you’ve found your way here. Regardless of what brought you, your choice to turn toward therapy is a brave and powerful step in your wellness journey. In this fast-paced and often heartbreaking world we live in, it can be difficult to slow down enough to feel our way through what is most important. My intention as a therapist, is to offer a heart-centered sanctuary where you may soften enough to express what needs to be expressed in order to find clarity within. You have your own internal guidance. My role is simply to assist you in attuning to this natural wisdom, gently pointing you toward your own unique map of healing. I am honored to walk beside my clients on this ever-expanding path toward vitality and wholeness.
I consider myself unique, as a therapist, in that what draws me to this work is not to “help” or “rescue” but to the sense of wonder and awe that comes from witnessing my clients’ transform. I have always been an adventurer, living in many places across the United States and exploring the wonders of my inner and outer worlds. Through my own healing journey I have found that discovering the hidden gems within has led to more ease, energy, and inspiration in my outer life. I have come to view humanity less through the lens of our trauma and more through the lens of our shared creative potential and empowerment. My curiosity, deep presence, and courageous spirit are my greatest tools as a therapist. In our work together I will address all parts of you as sacred and integral to the whole, while holding you accountable to your highest potential.
My hope for you is that through touching in with the most tender parts of yourself, you may emerge with the self-trust to understand, appreciate, and sink into your unique role in the ecosystem of life.
