I'm Marcelle, a trauma-informed therapist specializing in attachment-focused work with Black ad Brown Millennials and Gen Z adults and couples.

​

I help clients untangle long-standing relational patterns so they can build secure, authentic connections with themselves and the with the people in their lives.

​

Many of the clients I work with are thoughtful, high-functioning, and self-aware. On the outside, they may look like they got it together- managing careers, relationships, and responsibilities well. Internally, they may feel feel stuck in cycles of overgiving, emotional shutdown, anxiety, or relational conflict they can't quite explain.

​

That's where our work begins.

​

My Approach:

​

Therapy with me is relational, depth-oriented, and collaborative.

​

I integrate EMDR and attachment-based therapy including Gottman Therapy and Structural Family Therapy to help you move beyond insight and into meaningful emotional processing. We don't just talk about patterns- we work through them at their root.

​

Many relational struggles are not character flaws. They are adaptations- ways you learned to survive, stay connected, or protect yourself. Together, we slow down enough to understand those adaptations and gently shift what no longer serves you. 

​

This work is intentional. It requires honesty, curiosity, and a willingness to look beneath the surface. And it creates lasting change.

​

Why I Do This Work:

​

As a Black woman, mom, wife, and therapist, I understand the complexity of navigating identity, expectations, family roles, and relational dynamics- especially when cultural context is layered into the experience. 

​

My work is rooted in honoring lived experience while also helping you challenge the patterns that keep you small, disconnected, or overwhelmed. 

​

You don't have to explain everything here. You definitely don't have to code-switch. You for sure don't have to minimize your story. 

​

You do have to be willing to grow.

​

My Training and Experience:

​

I am a Certified EMDR Therapist as well as trained in Gottman Therapy and Structural Family Therapy. I lean into attachment-based modalities that support trauma processing and relational repair. My work is informed by an understanding of how early experiences shape nervous system responses, relationship patterns, and self-concept.

​

I specialize in:

• Trauma and complex trauma

• Attachment wounds

• Relationship and communication patterns

• Identity development and self-worth

• Couples seeking deeper connection and repair

​

Therapy with me is not surface-level coping work. It's structured, thoughtful, and tailored to the goals you bring into the room. 

​

Who This Work Is For:

​

This work is best suited for individuals and couples who:

• Want more than short-term system relief

• Are ready to understand their relational patterns

• Value culturally responsive care

• Are open to deeper emotional processing

• Are willing to actively engage in growth

​

If you're looking for quick fixes or passive support, we may not be the best fit. 

​

If you're ready for meaningful change, we might be.

​

A Final Word:

​

Therapy is a vulnerable investment. I don't take lightly the trust it requires. 

​

If you're ready to explore your patterns with honesty, build more secure connections, and engage in intentional relational work, I welcome you to schedule a consultation.
