About me

Hi, I'm Mary—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Tennessee. I specialize in helping individuals who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or weighed down by depression. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, parenting stress, postpartum challenges, or simply feeling disconnected from joy, I offer a safe, affirming space to explore what’s holding you back and what healing might look like.

My approach is eclectic and client-driven, meaning I tailor each session to your unique needs and strengths. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, trauma-focused therapy, and yoga-informed practices for mood and emotional regulation. I also have extensive experience supporting clients with ADHD and chronic stress.

Burnout can make life feel flat and joyless—but it doesn’t have to stay that way. I help clients reconnect with the present moment, rediscover their resilience, and take meaningful steps toward a more grounded, hopeful tomorrow.

I believe fulfillment isn’t reserved for a lucky few. We each have a place in this world and are meant to shine. If you’re feeling stuck or unseen, I’d be honored to support you in finding your way forward.

Mary was wonderful to work with for 2.5 years when my dad was sick, in the weeks leading up to his death and in my early stages of grief. She continued to help me with managing my anxiety and so many things over the years. She is so kind and thoughtful and she felt invested in me as a patient. Highly recommend Mary!

Extremely good listener, and non judgemental, but knows when to make me question my assumptions. Love working with her.

I have tried a few other therapist in the past that did not work out, but Mary is by far the best. She listens intently and gives helpful feedback. I highly recommend her.
