I am a licensed professional counselor with 4 years of experience working with adults and many other age groups who had diagnoses of depression, anxiety, grief and loss, ADHD, PTSD, or relationship issues, and parenting challenges. My counseling style is empathetic, active listening, interactive, and each person is treated as an expert of their own experiences. I view each person as needing assistance with finding tools that help them live the life they prefer.
My counseling approach encompasses humanistic, Narrative, Solution-Focused, Cognitive-Behavioral, Emotionally Focused, and other family therapies that can assist with healing and challenges. I will work with you to create a plan that accommodates your special needs. The focus is on the strength that it takes for someone to seek assistance with various challenges. I look forward to collaborating with you on your new life plan.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I’m so thankful for her! She’s amazing!!
Extremely respectful and helpful. Very knowledgeable and patient. 10/10 !
Mary is knowledgeable, supportive and easy to talk to. I’ve been in therapy off and on for years, but I feel like I’ve made more progress with her in a short time than I have with others. Very grateful for her.
Mary is a wonderful therapist. I only would rate her a nine because I have suffered long term severe trauma that I believe merit a ptsd or trauma specialist or expert. I’m unfortunately due to losing everything has me financially disadvantaged for the first time in my life. Mar is professional, compassionate, non judgmental, empathetic. Nothing within her control I have trauma that is extremely complex and I need services frankly I cannot afford. But Mary, she represents your company extremely well.
Mary changed my life.

Mary is very knowledgeable and down to earth. She truly makes you feel as though she is listening and also allowing you to make your own choices and realize things at your own pace.
Talking with Mary is like catching up with an old friend, one who dispenses invaluable pearls of wisdom when you need to hear them. She's easy to talk to and very insightful.
Mary was lovely to communicate with and has helped build up my tool kit to better assist my anxiety. So grateful to have weekly chats with such an endearing, genuine and kind human being.
She’s extremely competent
Ms. Mary is everything I needed in a counselor. I thank her enough for being a listening ear and mother figure when I needed her. Thank you for changing my life ❤️
I really appreciate Mary! She’s really patient and meets me where I’m at. I love that she asks questions or helps me to see my concerns from different angles. She provides exercises that really allow me to process my thoughts when I find myself really overwhelmed with my life concerns.
I truly enjoy my timing working with Mary. She is an amazing therapist and I appreciate all that she does for me.
Truely a good person and an amazing therapist
After 2 sessions i have made great progress and would refer her to anyone for anything!
Ms. Mary has a special place in my heart. I feel like I can talk to her about anything and she not be judgmental. My mom passed away and now I have someone I can go to and just let me talk. Thank you Ms. Mary for helping me heal my old wounds
I want you to know that I am very satisfied with you and I really want to thank you for coming in my life
Thank you again, Mary!
Mary was an excellent therapist. She got right to the heart of my needs in one session. I would highly recommend!
Down to earth, she really understands people and has compassion for others. Mary’s ethics and moral principles resonate on how humans are to be treated, received, and respected down to the emotional level. Love her and would recommend her to anyone 10/10.
I’ve only seen Ms. Mary for 2 sessions but I have so enjoyed each one. I look forward to the sessions with her each week and love talking about my sessions with her to my close friends and family. I feel like she really understands me and somehow knows exactly what I need to hear.
Mary was really able to help my young teen though a confusing time in regards to gender identity issues. In the few visits they had with Mary, I could tell they seemed more at ease & comfortable with themselves again— which is what I wanted. I hope to be able to reconnect my teen with Mary in the future. Thank you!
She’s a wonderful counselor and so incredibly understanding.
