About
I’m Mari, a licensed marriage and family therapist based in Nashville. I enjoy helping people make sense of what’s hard in their relationships and figure out what they need and how to say it. I want to help you feel more understood and more like yourself with the people in your life. Therapy with me looks like workshopping issues together with gentle honesty and care for how you’re feeling as we find ways forward that feel right for you (while having some laughs, too)!
Feeling understood matters, especially when connecting with others has often meant having to explain yourself. My interest in working with autistic and neurodivergent clients comes from wanting therapy to be a place where different ways of thinking and communicating are taken seriously. I want to help clients express their needs and build relationships where understanding and adjustment go both ways.
My clients’ strengths shape how I work. I want to know what comes naturally, what takes extra effort, what matters to them, and how they prefer to be supported. Those details help us find practical ways to approach challenges that build on their strengths and respect their needs.
