Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Therapist with 3 years of experience helping adults and families navigate life's challenges. I earned my degree from Lipscomb University and am licensed in Tennessee.
My clinical background includes working in an eating disorder residential facility as well as a healthcare clinic supporting clients in addiction recovery. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of complex emotional and behavioral challenges and the courage it takes to seek help.
Whether you are struggling with everyday stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, or deeper mental health concerns, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth. I would love the opportunity to support you — please don't hesitate to reach out!
Hi, I’m Mary! I believe that therapy should be a safe place to explore your story, gain deeper self understanding, and learn ways to cope better with the hard things in life. I hope to create a fun and collaborative environment that feels inclusive and inviting.
When i'm not seeing clients I enjoy writing and playing music around Nashville, teaching Pure Barre, and hosting my dating podcast. I believe that therapy should incorporate healing of the mind, body, and spirit. I can’t wait to meet you!
I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) and Board Certified Hypnotherapist based in Madison, TN, with 16 years in practice. I hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and am a certified hypnotherapist through the National Guild of Hypnotists. I'm also an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, so I train and supervise other clinicians in addition to seeing clients myself.
I work with adults and families around addiction, trauma and PTSD, and impulse control disorders, along with anxiety, low self-esteem, mood disorders, OCD, relationship issues, and compulsive or disruptive patterns. Hypnotherapy and Internal Family Sytems are my favorite modalities.
I offer both in-person sessions (at Watershed Wellness Cooperative in Madison) and telehealth, with daytime, evening, and weekend availability.
