Hi, I’m Mariah.

“Whether it’s emotional distance, trust issues, betrayal, or low intimacy in your romantic partnership, OR if you're just ready to face the real stuff: the childhood wounds, the intimacy fears, the harmful cycles in your relationships in general, with me there's no toxic positivity or spiritual bypassing.

Just grounded, gutsy healing that sticks.”

    I am a registered provider with the Pennsylvania Victim’s Compensation Assistance Program (VCAP).

    VCAP helps victims and their families through the emotional and physical aftermath of a crime by easing the financial impact placed upon them by the crime.

    Through VCAP, survivors of sexual assault (in childhood or adulthood) are eligible for up to $5,000 in funding for therapy services if the crime occurred in adulthood, and $10,000 if the crime occurred in childhood.

    Sexual assault victims seeking counseling services related to their abuse are not required to have reported the assault to police or other authorities to be eligible to receive these benefits.
