Over the last two decades, Marcia has serviced a multitude of health care environments as a registered nurse in administrative and clinical roles.

She holds master’s degrees in health administration and nursing. She embraces the notion that at the core of each human is a distinct need to thrive in a steady state of wellness in mind, body, and soul.

Marcia acknowledges and respects diverse cultures, lifestyles, ethnicities, abilities, and experiences that contribute to a client’s psyche. She is equipped to treat neurodevelopmental, behavioral, emotional, psychosocial, and other psychosis-related mental health challenges. Her ultimate goal is to honor and support each client’s uniqueness by committing to collaborative, client-focused treatment plans and adapting holistic care tactics to meet their mental health needs.
