Marilyn is a dedicated mental health clinician with extensive experience supporting individuals and communities who have been historically underserved.  Her work has been deeply rooted in empowering African American women and other marginalized groups, helping them navigate personal, cultural, and generational wounds with compassion and respect.  She brings this same commitment to the diverse clients she serves at New U Therapy, offering care that is culturally responsive, trauma‑informed, and grounded in genuine human connection.

With a background in community counseling, addiction recovery, and holistic therapeutic practices, Marilyn integrates restorative healing with an understanding of the social and cultural contexts that shape each person’s life.  She believes that meaningful therapy honors the whole individual—their identity, values, strengths, and lived experiences.  Her approach supports clients in building inner resilience, deepening self‑awareness, and creating pathways toward personal and relational transformation.

Goals:

• Build relationships rooted in trust, safety, and compassion
• Support clients in recognizing their inherent worth, strengths, and potential
• Develop practical, accessible coping skills that promote long‑term emotional well‑being
