Biography

Greetings. I am honored to be here and bear witness to your story.  I come to PLU with a rich background in wilderness therapy and rites of passage work. Backpacking through the Olympics, gardening in Hawaii, and canoeing in Alaska, I’ve lived deep in the back country, holding space for adolescents and young adults of all races, genders, and social identities.  I bring experience in trauma support, identity exploration, and group facilitation. Here at PLU, my primary focus is to provide a safe container and an unjudgmental ear to the emotions, thoughts, and feelings brought forth by our student population.  Anxiety, depression, overwhelm, relationship issues, identity questions, emotional support, bring your weird, bring your wild, all are welcomed, all are unjudged, and all will be supported; that Is my commitment.

-Michael Marshall
