About me

Marla Simlett, MA, RCC

(she/her/hers)

My passion has always been helping others. My career path and volunteer work has focused on this purpose. I love those moments when I can help another person uncover the ‘why’ behind how they feel, think, and behave. And working with them on ‘how’ they can make actual, sustainable changes that positively impact their experiences, relationships, and lives.

This passion has also made me a continuous self-learner. I maintain my ongoing growth through my own therapy, meditation, and personal and professional development. This learning gives me an even more fulsome and powerful toolkit to help my clients heal and grow.
