About me

Experienced, empathetic therapist who will help you to work on the problems that are interfering with your living your best life. Includes understanding identity, LGBTQI, mood, relationships, anxiety, grief, aging, family, past/present trauma or other issues that interfere or keep you from living life to the fullest. While gentle & supportive in my approach, I also know that sometimes what is needed, is a therapist who can also call out BS and help you get unstuck. I am that therapist.

Mary is a wonderful therapist.
She is caring, funny and honest. She has helped me gain confidence in myself. She was always on time and made me realise things about myself that I never though through. I would strongly recommend her.

Peggy is extremely compassionate and caring. She has given me great guidance with regards to my son. And, has been a solid shoulder when I’ve needed it. She is extremely responsive and attentive to my needs.

Thank you!
