Trauma-Informed Somatic Coaching
Office & virtual sessions available

Marielle specializes in helping individuals and relationships navigate the complex aftermath of traumatic experiences. She is passionate about supporting those who have faced identity-based violence and marginalization related to race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, gender identity, and immigration. She has a particular love for working with Black, Indigenous, Immigrant, and Peoples with Colonized histories within the queer, kink, and BDSM communities. Her work includes teaching and supporting kink and power-exchange dynamics. As a cis woman with Asian and Arab cultural roots, she values the collective feminine experience and has experience supporting Transgender women in exploring and integrating their feminine self as it emerges within an embodied journey.

As a neurodivergent, Queer, Southeast Asian, immigrant cis woman living in a small, blue town in Georgia, she understands what it’s like to navigate multiple layers of identity and systemic challenges.

Many clients come to her with histories rooted in racial and ethnic, sexual and gender marginalization, violence, displacement, acculturation stress, resettlement, or surviving colonized systems. These experiences are often intersected with war, migration, and epigenetic histories of trauma.

Marielle utilizes her dual training in psychotherapy and somatic methodologies to create a therapeutic approach grounded in somatic (“bottom-up”), collectivist, and indigenous principles that emphasize liberation, empowerment, and attachment. She blends this perspective with evidence-based cognitive and behavioral therapies (“top-down”) to foster a holistic, compassionate, and embodied collaboration.

Marielle fosters a therapeutic environment where clients may explore healing, resilience, and personal growth while emphasizing embodied awareness and collective healing.

“My goal is to support you as you allow yourself to experience the dynamic nature of healing. And to help you develop a sense of agency and capacity to choose your own path in this life.”
