I believe that everyone should have a safe and nonjudgmental space to work through life's challenges. Everyone owes themselves the time and energy to learn, heal and grow to be their best selves. I have worked with a wide range of clients dealing with issues such as depression and anxiety, family and relationship issues, drug and alcohol problems, incarceration and life changes.
I combine different modalities to suit the needs of the individual; including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness and solution-focused therapy to help clients live the kind of life they envision for themselves. I hold a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) license and a Substance Use Disorder Professional Certification (SUDP) in the state of Washington.
I look forward to supporting and guiding you on your path to making positive life changes.
Additional areas of focus: Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Parenting issues, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Depression, Coping with life changes, Coaching, Compassion fatigue
Clinical approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy

Mary Ann is a lifesaver and by far the best therapist I’ve ever had. In just a few sessions she has made me feel immensely better. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
