Mary is an incredible therapist and a great listener. She provided me with many tools to manage stress and anger, which made a huge difference in my daily life. Mary helped me navigate some of the darkest and most stressful moments, not only in my personal life but also in my relationships. Her guidance was compassionate, insightful, and always tailored to my needs. I’m deeply grateful for all her support, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for meaningful and effective therapy.
