Hi my name is Marilyn and I thank you for taking an interest in my profile. I can understand how daunting it may be to speak to somebody about your inner personal thoughts and feelings, how you truly feel deep down, when your trying to make sense of these thoughts and feelings. But you have made that first step to improving your mental wellbeing. Life has it's ups and downs, the smooth with the rough. However sometimes it may feel like your on pause or stuck and no one understands. Those thoughts ruminate and your feelings can become suppressed. You may even feel numb as you try to navigate through life with these thoughts and feelings that you have not been allowed to express or deny. If your not allowed to express and grow how are you to become that authentic self. I know it may be difficult to picture at times a new way of being. However I can let you know I'm here to listen and help you work through these issues that may have impacted you psychology. I will provide and create a safe space where I hope you will feel safe, listened to and not judged. Building trust in order for the thereupeutic relationship to develop is very important to allow you the freedom to talk about whatever is important to you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I’m really enjoying my sessions with Marilyn, I feel I’m getting the support I need
I have been so scared to start therapy but since talking to Marilyn I can only wonder why. She makes me feel safe, whilst also being honest and respectful with me. I am hopeful and excited to continue this journey of healing with her.
Marilyn has been so supportive and has helped me understand myself and my moods in deeper way. She is honest in the most positive of ways and has given me some really useful excersises to help me move forward.
I love my sessions with Marilyn, she understands and is always positive and uplifting. My confidence has increased with Marilyn's help and support.
We have a rapport. She has helped me so much.
I have had a couple of sessions with Marilyn and really appreciate her support. She makes me feel heard and help me to get better at speaking to my inner self.
I had a few sessions with another BetterHelp therapist and while a nice lady, I wasn't getting a lot of input or feedback so I switch and was assigned to Marilyn and I'm SO happy I did! She is a wonderful listener but also is very animated and verbal and articulate and validating and kind. I would highly recommend her!
Marilyn is amazing, very supportive and encouraging. I feel I have more confidence in myself after talking to her, she always listens and understands. Excellent therapist and I completely recommend!
Very empathetic and understand therapist I would easily recommend her for my loved ones.
Over my time with Marilyn I have made huge progress in developing myself and feel more confident after each session. I highly recommend Marilyn for your journey on betterhelp.
Marilyn has been helping me work through different phases and issues that I have been dealing with for a while. I feel like she has helped me better express myself and feel more confident.
It’s early days so far. But I’ve felt the benefit of having someone who understands to talk to. She has been a good listener and is empathetic. I have been given insight into my situation and strategies to cope. I’m enjoying the journey.
She is really supportive, empowering, and understanding, while making sure I have autonomy within therapy boundaries. I developed a safe feeling in her presence. I learned a great deal from talking to her.
Marilyn is truly amazing. She listens, understands and guides you with such support. I have been processing grief and would not be where I am today without Marilyn’s help. I would highly recommend Marilyn and am so grateful for everything she has done.
Marilyn is great at listening and reading between the lines.
Marilyn is a fantastic therapist. She has been a phenomenal source of help for me since we started and I highly recommend her. She is understanding, patient, caring and kind but also knows when to push and ask the tough question. Could not be happier with Marilyn and am SO thankful I found her on here.
I have had a wonderful experience using the platform and being matched with one of the best therapist I have shared with in years. I am not new to therapy, I believe wholeheartedly that confiding in a professional is the most rewarding experience for mental health, growth and support during difficult periods in ones life. Marilyn has been exceptional in understanding my complex mannerisms, deep thought style and helping me peel back some, shed, even more of those protective layers that just might not serve me anymore! I thank her and Betterhelp platform for existing.
I feel understood, safe, and supported throughout our sessions. Highly recommended to anyone
Marilyn has been excellent, a huge help to me during a difficult period and genuinely been a big reason I’ve come out the other side feeling much more stable and generally happier. She’s very approachable and open, and builds rapport very easily. She also has an unrivalled ability to articulate how you feel when you don’t know how.
Marilyn always encourages me to take every step during therapy at my own pace. She makes the sessions a very safe and supportive place. I have noticed a lot of positive changes in the way I deal with challenges ever since I started working with her.
Marilyn is fantastic, respectful, supportive and I look forward to each session
