About me
Hello There! I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois, I have worked in crisis intervention for the past 7years which includes working hospital settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of crises including, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, OCD, PTSD, post-partum depression, and life challenges.
My counseling style is open, and interactive, I believe that not everyone falls under one certain labels and I treat everyone with respect, and compassion. Of course I will tailor our treatment plan and discussions to meet your uniquely specific needs, but approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, and solution focused therapy.
Its a very empowering and rewarding moment that you want to take in order to live a more health life, and I am ready to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

I feel like I’ve come a LONG way since I started working with Mary. She does a great job of understanding my needs and pushing me to do better. Her words of encouragement are a huge help at the end of our sessions.

She is very understanding. She is helping unravel things that I had no idea that I had problems with. She's getting deeps and give me the tools I need to heal. She's easy to talk to and has a good ear.
