I am licensed in California and have 17 years of post-graduate professional work experience.
Welcome to my page. My name is Mary and I have been in the social work field since I was a sophomore in college. My experience has varied from group homes, residential facilities, job coaching, comorbid disorders, homelessness, domestic violence, working in the criminal justice department, trauma, abuse, family dynamics and working in the public sector. I have worked with elementary school aged children, adolescents, teens aging out of the system, adults, elderly and hospice.
I started my private practice in the midst of the pandemic as stress levels rose from fear, job changes, financial issues, childcare/eldercare, relationship issues, racial injustices, air quality, displacement by the wildfires, climate change, the list goes on. I wanted to provide support to those impacted by any and all above combined with interpersonal issues. How do we handle all of this? By providing a listening ear, someone to vent to, plan with. I'm here.

Best Therapist I’ve ever had! I feel heard I feel comfortable and understood. With other therapists it was more of just trauma dumping, but with Mary I have work sheets to do she always has amazing advise offers great books to read that help me! I couldn’t ask for better and I wouldn’t change a thing! Thank you Mary and better help!

Mary has provided such wonderful support and insights during our therapy sessions. She truly is such a cheerleader for those she works with and has a kindness and understanding that makes you feel heard and held. I genuinely have felt my mental health improve over the time we have spent working together, and feel in a much better place than when I started. Would love to work with her again and highly recommend her. to anyone looking for a therapist.

Mary worked with me for just about 7 months and she was great. She really took the time to listen to me when I just needed to vent. She was very kind and considerate of how I felt. She also gave great advice and tips on how to move forward from what I was going through. I would 100% recommend her to anyone seeking help for themselves, or even referring her to a friend. I can’t thank her enough.

I reached out to Mary after reading about her many years of experience in the topics I wanted help in. I started working with her to discuss body image issues and our discussions have since bounced around to so many more topics I didn't even realize I could use some help in. I rarely went into a session with Mary with a game plan of what I wanted to talk about but would always come out of it feeling as if I learned something new about myself. She is easy to talk to, never judgmental and had amazing advice that I was able to relate to multiple issues I was having in my life. She really has helped me learn how to interact with people better, learn how to keep peace in my life and manage my expectations. It has been a great experience working with her and even in just a few months I have gotten some incredibly useful tools and advice that has helped me reshape my life in the best way!

When I first started BetterHelp, I was in a really bad place of my life. I went through 3 different counselors before finding Mary. From day one, she had been patient, kind, caring, and nonjudgmental. She listened intently to my spiels and always provided a different perspective that often challenged me to think outside my own perspective. Mary made me feel safe, supported, and comfortable, because of that, I am always excited for our live sessions. I'm very grateful and thankful to have Mary be an instrumental partner alongside me on this healing journey.

Mary has been a great support for me over the last few months as I work through some life changes and trying to navigate some decisions for myself. She is kind, intelligent, and thoughtful in her responses.

Mary has been so helpful! She has helped me uncover a lot about myself and has helped me realize a lot of the causes for my stress and anxiety. She recommends tangible coping skills that REALLY help! I’ve only been seeing Mary for a month and a half and I feel like I have grown and learned so much. I’m so grateful that I found Mary!

I had some personal issues with my relationship and contacted Mary for help. She listens rely well and was able to pinpoint some of the things I was doing wrong and guided me in the right direction to get my life back on track. Just want to thank you Mary for saving my life! Best counselor in the world!

I joined BetterHelp to work on my issues with anxiety over intimacy and relationships (and just general day-to-day anxiety). I’m so glad I was matched with Mary. Over our multiple sessions. we worked through various issues in my life. Mary listened and provided feedback and tools that allowed me to navigate relationship issues and set healthy boundaries for myself. She helped me find ways to break out of the negative thought patterns that I can tend to get stuck in. I’m so thankful that BetterHelp matched me with Mary!
Written on Feb 06, 2021 after therapy with Mary for 3 months on issues concerning intimacy-related issues, and self esteem
I was looking to quit BetterHelp after not having enough support and connection with my first therapist, until I met Mary. She introduced herself through a video call and talked about her background. Mary made me feel seen and heard, and she always had approachable solutions. She was also able to pinpoint my thought patterns and thinking errors, and now I'm able to be more self aware and self controlled of my thoughts and habits. I can't recommend her enough!

Mary is amazing and has been instrumental in my mental health this past year. She is attentive and listens to my concerns, always has a good perspective that’s unbiased but in my best interest. I feel like I can share anything with her. I’m so thankful I found her in my low point because she saved me.
Written on Jan 10, 2021 after therapy with Mary for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and self esteem
After working with a number of different therapists in my life, Mary has been the easiest one to open up to with just about everything. She has incredible insight and has been able to navigate me though sexual trauma, familial related anxiety, religious guilt, and so forth. She listens attentively, brings new thought strategies to light, and recommends relevant books for further reflection. I have only been with her for 2 months now, but I can comfortably say I have found a therapist for life.
Written on Dec 22, 2020 after therapy with Mary for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and compassion fatigue
Working with Mary for the last two months has been very helpful and insightful. She is supportive, kind, empathetic, and easy to open up to without feeling judged. I have been able to work through many different challenges with her. Additionally, she is very responsive and has several meeting times available to fit my busy schedule. Through our discussions, I have developed strategies and skills I can take beyond my time on BetterHelp to make improvements in many areas of my life. Thank you so much for all of your help, Mary! You are appreciated.
