Therapy for creative, self-aware adults navigating change

grounded therapy for ADHD, anxiety, life transitions, grief, and reinvention

You don’t need more insight
You need integration

You’re thoughtful.
You’ve read the books. You’ve listened to the podcasts.
You understand your patterns.

And still — something isn’t shifting.

I work with creative, self-aware adults navigating anxiety, grief, ADHD,
relationship struggles, and major life transitions—
people in the middle of real change.

You’re not stuck, but you may still be floundering.

Therapy with me is grounded, direct, and collaborative.
We slow down enough to understand what’s happening beneath the surface — and then we figure out how to move you forward.

What I help with…

Creativity, ADHD, and fast minds
You are full of curiosity, ideas, and drive — but time seems to disappear, systems break down, and life feels harder than it should.

Anxiety & overthinking
Your mind rarely slows down. Decisions, relationships, and work all get processed intensely.

Life transitions & reinvention
Relationships changing or ending, career shifts, relocations, or identity changes — your old life no longer fits.

Grief & meaning
Loss can change everything, make you question everything you thought you knew. Therapy can give you the space and time to allow yourself to feel the full range of emotions and perhaps make a little more sense of it.

Relationships & couples
Even people who love each other deeply can get caught in painful cycles of criticism, withdrawal, and misunderstanding. Couples learn to recognize the reactive cycle they get pulled into and learn to reconnect with more openness, responsiveness, and care.

In the Flow Counseling offers a safe, inclusive space for individuals of all genders, sexual identities, backgrounds, ethnicities, and spiritual or religious affiliations.

About Marlys

I became a therapist because I’m deeply curious about how people change — and why it’s so hard.

I work with thoughtful, creative, questioning adults grappling with:

anxiety
grief
relationship shifts
identity pivots
dysfunctional family legacy
ADHD
creative reclaiming

You may understand your patterns really well.
And yet still you’re living inside them.

My work is grounded, collaborative, in depth, and direct. We slow down enough to see what’s underneath, and then figure out what wants to move. Insight matters — and so does momentum.

You don’t have to show up polished or overly polite here. No masking. No performing. Bring the doubt, the contradictions, the irreverent humor. We’ll work with what’s real.

And sometimes we end up laughing pretty hard. Because being human is strange and tender and mysterious and frequently absurd.

Work with Me

Let’s talk. I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation.
No commitment, no pressure — just the chance to talk about what’s bringing you in
and get a feel for whether us working together feels right.
