History
For the past 15 years, Marie has been practicing in Oakland in community mental health and in her private practice serving the greater Bay Area. In October 2009, Marie started her private practice in the lower Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco with an office on Fillmore Street. In January 2014, she relocated her practice to Oakland and opened her College Avenue office in Rockridge. In August 2016, Marie opened a second office location in Oakland on Piedmont Avenue. Marie currently sees clients at both her new office located at 4281 Piedmont Avenue and her College Avenue office near the Rockridge BART station. Thank you for your continued support in the transition to my new office! To all my clients, my hope is that you have found your experience there to be a positive and tranquil one as we continue our meaningful work together.
