Hello! You want to talk and I want to listen. Together we will examine your reasons for coming to therapy and decide on a plan to address them. You are in the drivers seat. I am here to help facilitate change.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience in counseling. I have worked in the mental health field for 20 years in hospitals, offices, clinics, nursing homes and the emergency department. I have a wide range of expertise. I work well with people who are depressed, anxious, have experienced trauma, have health concerns, are aging, who have relationship difficulties, trouble communicating, life stress, doubts about their faith, work issues, trouble with drugs or alcohol, school problems and those seeking purpose or meaning. I am comfortable with your pain and I am here to help.
In all of my years as a social worker I have learned that while I know about how to work through difficulties, each person has their own story, there can be no assumptions. That is why I use a highly collaborative approach. I employ Psychodynamic Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Brief Therapy, Existential Therapy and Mindfulness. If you are unfamiliar with these treatments I will explain them and we can decide what we try together.
I am dedicated to authenticity, transparency, honesty, building trust and sharing what I know. I’m dedicated to your wellness, present and future. It takes courage to do what you are doing. I would be honored to walk with you. Let’s start your better tomorrow today!

This is my first experience with therapy. I feel like MaryLu was a great match for me. She listens and engages with my concerns. She also guides me when I have no idea what to do. From my experience so far she is amazing. She helps me look at things differently when I cannot. I would definitely recommend her.

Best experience I have ever had in therapy. MaryLu has a wealth of experience and insights and clinical knowledge, as well as compassion and understanding and counsel/ advice. I feel like she understands exactly what I am feeling and going through. I feel understood, supported, reassured and encouraged. I feel more confident in my ability to interact with and interpret my conscience and my inner voice, and how I use them to navigate my emotional world. Thank you, Mary Lu.

She is the first person to actually help me through the struggles I am facing, and to be complete up front and honest with me! She has been super helpful and has gone out of her way to support me!

She puts the same time and attention into helping me through whatever crisis I'm having small or large. It's easy for me to dismiss a thought or feeling as insignificant and therefore to not want to bring it up. But, whatever "small" thing happens to be on my mind, she's always supportive and helps me sort it out.

Marylu is perfect.
She’s understanding, non judgmental. She even interjects her ideas that may be helpful regarding your situation. I love it because I can express myself and emotions to her. Instead of leaving them all bottled up

She is amazing! I am so glad I was paired with her. She is so compassionate and wonderful at listening. I feel like she is very supportive of choices that I make when they are healthy and then will discuss things that are not healthy and give guidance without judgement.
I have already tried convincing multiple people to try better help, this service has been so helpful for me.

MaryLu goes above and beyond as a therapist. I've never worked with someone who understands my struggles, needs, and weaknesses as well as she does. My life has changed in a healthy, much needed way since I started working with MaryLu
Written on Mar 13, 2022 after therapy with MaryLu for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and self esteem
MaryLu is truly the best therapist I have ever had in my life (and I've had a few!). She makes me want to put the work in to improve my life, she is empathetic and kind, and she doesn't hesitate to call me out when I'm in an unhelpful thought pattern. She's knowledgeable and skilled in many therapy techniques and knows when and how to apply them to my situation. I always know that when I finish a session with MaryLu, I'm going to feel better about myself and have the resolve to keep moving toward my goals.

When I speak, I feel heard and understood. I do not feel any kind of judgement or guile, just that MaryLu is trying to understand me, and my goals, and what's keeping me from them, and how to get there. I don't feel like she subverts my intentions or what I think are problems with her opinions - she works to see things through my eyes and then through an objective lens to help me see how I can improve. I appreciate her and I feel very comfortable talking to her.
