about meHello, I’m Marcia, a licensed therapist committed to guiding individuals through the transformative process of healing and growth. With a profound understanding of the complexities surrounding narcissistic abuse and a deep-rooted passion for supporting others, I’ve made it my life’s work to provide a safe space for healing and offer insightful education.
I have a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and I obtained my LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in the state of Georgia in 2003.
At the core of my practice lies a simple yet powerful belief: everyone deserves to live a life free from the shadows of past trauma. As a licensed professional counselor with personal and professional experience around the effects of Narcissistic Abuse and Recovery, I am here to walk alongside you on your path to recovery.
My mission is twofold: First, to facilitate a nurturing environment within my private practice, where you can explore your experiences, rebuild self-worth, and discover inner strength. Second, to extend beyond the counseling room by organizing workshops, conferences, and retreats tailored for women, providing them with tools to heal, grow, and thrive.
My personal experience comes from being married to a narcissist for 30 years so I can honestly say that I understand the challenges firsthand and have been on my own journey of healing from narcissistic abuse to finding and protecting my peace.
So join me in this journey toward self-discovery, resilience, and renewed hope. Let’s explore the transformative power of healing together.
Warmly,
Marcia
I Married Shortly After Graduating From College And Immediately Began Graduate School, Receiving my Master’s Degree In Counseling Psychology In 1993. however, my Educational Career Was Cut Short. While Working On my Doctorate At The University Of Nebraska my Her Father Was Diagnosed With Cancer. While Coping With The Loss Of my Father, i Continued To Serve my Community While Raising Three Boys. After 30 Years Of Marriage, and recognizing I was married to a narcissist, the veil of denial was removed and i finally Divorced my Husband In Search Of my Own Healing And Self-Enlightenment After Years Of Undiagnosed Depression As A Result Of A Dysfunctional Marriage.
Immediately after my divorce, I eagerly returned to my home state Of Maryland for a fresh start. here is Where i Continue To Pursue my Passion Of Helping Others Who Have Experienced Mental Health And Substance Abuse Issues Due To Unhealthy Marriages and relationships as a result of narcissistic abuse, Unresolved Grief and c-pTSD (Complex Post Traumatic stress disorder), And Lack Of Self-Worth Making It Difficult To Reach Their Goals In Life. and i finally found the strength to Write A Book About my Life Experiences In The Hopes That The Pain And Pitfalls that i Have Overcome Will Be A Blessing and inspiration To Others.
