I’m currently accepting new clients! If anxiety, depression, loss, loneliness, or life changes have left you feeling stuck, you don’t have to navigate them alone. Even if you’ve struggled for years, there may still be room for greater confidence, connection, and enjoyment in life. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than nine years of experience as an LCSW, and I especially enjoy helping adults and seniors find practical ways to improve their well-being.

My approach is warm, calm, down-to-earth, and open-minded. I listen first, respect what matters to you, and work with you to find solutions that fit your life. You can expect honest conversation, encouragement, and manageable steps toward meaningful change—with room for laughter and appropriate humor along the way. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. We can start where you are today and work together toward where you’d like to be.

I'm Mary, and I want you to know that whatever's bringing you here — anxiety that won't quiet down, a relationship that's fraying, grief you can't shake, or patterns you keep repeating despite your best efforts — you don't have to figure it out alone. I've worked with individuals, couples, families, and teens facing some of life's hardest chapters, and I genuinely believe that the right support at the right time changes everything.

I'm California-licensed and offer telehealth sessions statewide, which means flexible, private care from wherever you're most comfortable. I accept Aetna, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, and Carelon Behavioral Health, and I'm happy to help you understand your benefits before your first session.

Do you feel like something is wrong with you? Do you wish it would all just stop and go away? Is your child acting out and you don't know why or what to do? If you have had any of these thoughts, then you're in the right place! My practice is based around what happened to us, not what is wrong with us. I am here to support & guide you in processing thoughts and feelings, reflect on experiences, learn new coping skills, and figure out next steps. I will listen, teach, brainstorm, guide and help you build tools to meet your goals.

Therapist

Sometimes you don’t need someone to simply ask, “And how does that make you feel?” You need a therapist who can listen, understand the bigger picture, help you connect the dots, and work with you on what to actually do next.

That’s the kind of space I strive to provide.

I work with adults who may look like they’re holding everything together while privately feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, angry, disconnected, grieving, or simply tired of carrying so much. Some of my clients come to therapy because of a specific crisis or life transition. Others arrive saying, “I don’t even know where to start—I just know something needs to change.” Both are perfectly valid places to begin.
