More about Mary
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW, LICSW
For over 25 years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside adults as they navigate the most challenging chapters of their lives. With 21 years spent as a Community Support Specialist and nearly 5 years as a Therapist, I have a deep, practical understanding of what it takes to find stability and joy when facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, mood incongruities, and psychosis. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, but more importantly, I’m a human who believes that healing happens through connection and that therapy should be more than just a conversation—it should be a catalyst for hope.
My approach is warm, active, and deeply rooted in the belief that no one is defined by their diagnosis. By blending the practical 'how-to' of CBT and DBT with the transformative power of EMDR, we can work together to clear the mental clutter and process the past.
My goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely seen and energized. You have been resilient for so long on your own; let’s shift the focus from simply ‘getting by’ to creating a life that feels hopeful and truly yours. I’d love to hear your story. Reach out for a free consultation, and let’s talk about how we can start moving things forward together.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
