Hello, my name is Mary! I am a licensed therapist that specializes in trauma, grief and loss. I am EMDR trained; and offer EMDR sessions as well as EMDR intensive where we design an individualized program to fit your specific needs. I also offer KAP and have seen amazing results! I have been working with clients and families for over 25 years and feel I bring a seasoned, open outlook into the therapeutic setting. One of my all-time favorites is “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” ― Maya Angelou. Remember this as you walk thru your journey!

With 20 years of experience, I have moved past clinical jargon to focus on what actually works: true empathy and genuine human connection. My practice is built on real-world experience, and I am dedicated to helping people navigate life with clarity and strength.

I specialize in working with adults dealing with trauma, relationship dynamics, substance use, anxiety, and depression. I also focus on women’s issues, professional burnout, navigating major life transitions, and the art of setting healthy boundaries. I provide a professional, evidence-based approach that remains focused on you as a person.
