My practice centers on understanding each person's unique journey, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and life transitions.
I am deeply committed to creating a supportive, affirming therapeutic environment that honors diverse experiences and identities. My approach is rooted in empathy, cultural responsiveness, and evidence-based practices that empower clients to explore personal growth, heal from past wounds, and develop meaningful coping strategies.
My professional focus spans a wide range of concerns, including social anxiety, self-love, communication challenges, workplace stress, and multicultural experiences. I work collaboratively with clients to unpack complex emotions, build resilience, and cultivate authentic connections—both with themselves and others.
Through a person-centered lens, I support individuals in understanding their inner landscape, confronting barriers, and moving toward more fulfilling, intentional lives. My goal is to walk alongside you with genuine care, respect, and professional guidance.

Mary has been so helpful with my situation. I feel that all the exercises she gives me are very useful, and my depression symptoms have pretty much disappeared.
When I came to her in the winter, I was barely functioning in life. Just through chatting with her, and working on the exercises she gave me, I feel like a completely different person.
Mary is compassionate, but straightforward. She is very understanding, and excellent at getting me to talk.

Mary is honestly one of the best I’ve ever had on my team for mental health help.
I’ve had a lot of therapists who were beyond qualified to help me and they would deny my case, criticize my problems and even quit on me.
Mary is very professional but yet talks in a way that I understand and I don’t feel like I’m being judged or looked at any kinda way.
I am confident in the ability she has to help me and I’m very happy to have her on my team! She gives me hope and faith that mental health is something that I don’t have to struggle with alone anymore.
I can’t wait to see the progress I can make with her behind me!!

I have worked with Mary for over a year and I can say without any reservation, that I have grown and gotten to know myself, thanks to her. Her kindness, compassion, and patience were key to my growth. I always felt comfortable crying during a session and felt heard. She helped me problem-solve and provided resources that I could use immediately. As a patient, I always felt in control and as though my opinion and decisions mattered. I was in charge of my own therapy and she was my guide. That is truly what therapy is about: learning and developing the skills to manage stress and challenging situations. I am a classroom teacher and the years of the pandemic have been hard. When I was at my lowest and didn't want to exist anymore, Mary was at my side. She reminded me what was reality and what was my fear/anxiety. That helped me slowly unravel myself. She truly is a master of her specialties. Lastly, you never feel judged but rather wrapped in a blanket of kindness and understanding. Thank you for helping me heal.
