Hi there, I'm Mary!

I originally did work in art therapies and somatic awareness. My style is reflective and directive, and I will give you tools to practice each week. You set the goals, and I will guide you in that direction. I also train and supervise other therapists to become professionally licensed.

My focus

I work with patients needing care for their mental health, including, most often, my clients need support in changing difficult patterns and habits.

My approach

I use many approaches depending on the client and situation. I have training with the most progressive tools. DBT, CBT, and integrated meditation.

My communication style

Compassion, creative, thoughtful, with open collaboration on difficult feelings. Sometimes, I integrate humor because we can all use a lightness to lift our struggles.

My journey to mental healthcare

I came to recognize that we are all working on ourselves all the time. We are never completely comfortable or ready for the new things that get presented. The dance continues to evolve. Fear and uncertainty may always be there, but with gentle holding of ourselves and others, we can navigate life more comfortably.

My goals for you

We set goals each week and decide how they will be worked on in between sessions.

Our first session

Listening and supporting their struggle, and providing some direction in the process of understanding their options.
