Support for couples therapy, postpartum and perinatal transitions, trauma, grief, anxiety, attachment patterns, IFS-informed work, burnout, codependency, and religious trauma recovery.

When therapy may help
For the patterns, losses, and transitions that keep showing up.
People often reach out after trying to manage things privately for a long time. The relationship may keep looping. A new chapter of life may feel nothing like expected. Grief, anxiety, trauma, faith changes, or family history may be making ordinary days harder than they look from the outside.
You do not need a clear diagnosis or a polished explanation before contacting the practice. A short note about what has been happening is enough to begin a conversation about fit.
Therapeutic fit
Therapy that looks at the pattern, not just the latest crisis.
Sessions may focus on what is happening now and on the older patterns that make the present feel harder to navigate. Marsha's work pays attention to relationships, attachment, family systems, culture, and the ways people learn to protect themselves.
The goal is not to force disclosure or rush toward a breakthrough. The work is to understand the cycle clearly enough that different choices become possible.

Read moreStarting therapy
What reaching out can look like.
Clarify fit
The first contact is a place to ask about focus areas, timing, and whether this kind of therapy feels like the right next step.
Begin with what is most present
If the fit seems right, therapy can begin with the concerns that feel most pressing and make room for the fuller story over time.
Questions before reaching out
Common questions before starting therapy.
Do I need to know exactly what kind of therapy I need?
No. Many people reach out with a situation, a pattern, or a feeling rather than a clear clinical category. The consultation request can simply name what is happening and what you hope might change.
Can this be for couples or individual therapy?
Yes. Marsha works with adults and couples, including people seeking help with relationship strain, attachment concerns, postpartum transitions, trauma, grief, anxiety, and related concerns.
What should I include when I contact the practice?
A brief description of what brings you here, whether you are seeking individual or couples work, and any timing or scheduling constraints is enough to start.
Is this therapy only for people in Austin?
