Supporting Individuals, Couples, and Families Through Life’s Challenges.
Hello,
I’m Marilyn, a Registered Social Worker and mom of two, living in Toronto. I have been practicing social work in the fields of mental health and addictions for over 15 years.
I’m here to listen to your story, understand your needs, and help you navigate life’s challenges. I believe deeply in the transformative power of self-care and am committed to helping you discover your strengths and develop coping strategies so you can lead a more fulfilling and healthier life - one where you start living for yourself, not just for others.
With compassion and expertise, I support individuals, families and couples in addressing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, addiction and difficult life transitions. I also help clients reframe negative thinking and break unhelpful patterns, empowering them to create lasting positive change. Let me help you take the first step toward a healthier, more balanced life.
Change is possible. I’m here to listen, motivate you and equip you with the skills to create meaningful growth.

What People Are Saying
“When I was searching for a therapist, I was at one of the lowest points in my life. I was terrified thinking about what I should talk about in therapy or how I would even bring up anything to a complete stranger. With Marilyn, the conversation felt so natural. She was warm and genuine and gently asked me questions, without any judgement. It was clear that she was very experienced and naturally empathetic. Her sessions have helped me incredibly and I’ve progressed so much from my first session - I only wish I had met her earlier. I cannot thank Marilyn enough for the amount of work she has put into me and the tools she’s given me so that I can effectively use them on my own.”
