I am MH counselor/therapist with a counseling style that is warm, empathetic, integrative, pragmatic, and person-centered. I believe that a therapeutic relationship should be a collaborative one in which you and I work together to discover creative strategies, solutions, and, at times, even humorous insights to help you practice new ways to thrive. I have experience counseling adult individuals on family/relationship issues, and matters coping with grief, trauma, addiction, existential concerns, sexuality, and recovery.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and client-centered counseling. My work draws its influence from the counseling theories and styles of Carl Rogers, Carl Jung, and Murray Bowen. My goal is to overcome stigmatic labels and empower the client on a path to wellness.
I look forward to working with you!

Mary has been a godsend in my life. I’ve always thought of myself as a very emotionally and mentally grounded individual, but life circumstances have shown me otherwise.
Having someone like Mary as a therapist in my life has given me a pillar of calmness in my life and shown me how invaluable therapy can be in a myriad of situations in life.
I now view it as mental hygiene that I have to upkeep just like going to the gym.
Thank you Mary for all that you do!

Personable and very relatable.

She really is very special and will make an impact on all the lives she crosses paths with. Although it was short-lived, I felt very safe and allowed myself to be quite vulnerable with her which is a rare thing for me. It is a loss for me to be losing her, but obviously there’s another calling for her and I know that she will change the world even if it’s a small part. It all adds up in the end. Thank you so much for your help and for not rejecting me.

I have only had a few sessions with Mary so far, but I can definitely say she just GETS it. Whether it’s discussing what happened 5 min ago or something from 15 years ago, the conversation carries as much weight and attentiveness as you’d like to be reciprocated. Definitely recommend her :)
