"I help women who care a lot about others and want to take better care of themselves. Maybe your relationships, your work, or your sense of purpose is changing. It could be a loss that has set off these changes, or it could be some difficult choices you have to make. Or maybe you feel like you are running up against the same walls, repeating old patterns, and this is just not the way you want your life to be. Most likely, it looks like you have it all together on the outside. But on the inside… there’s more to the story. "

"To be fully alive in the 21st century, each of us has to make a conscious choice. Barriers can arise, challenging our ability to maintain personal values, stay mentally and emotionally stable, and live a life of our choosing. Mary works to help clients realize their version of a rich and balanced life. She provides a safe, supportive, judgment-free space to help you work through barriers that lie between where you are and where you want to be. What would you do if you knew you would not fail? Let's work together to find out."

"NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. I offer caring, collaborative psychotherapy in a relationship of trust and respect. I welcome and honor diversity. I have over 20 years of experience as a clinical social worker/therapist. I believe that everyone has the inherent capacity to make positive changes and heal. Often we aren't taught healthy, adaptive coping skills to address symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other mood disorders. I can assist you with identifying strategies that will work for you. I also provide an accepting, non-judgmental space to work through trauma, life transitions, relationships, and other challenges. "

"Couples, sex and food problems are my specialties. With over 30 years training and experience as a therapist, I treat couples with intimacy, sexuality, communication, and infidelity problems. I treat eating disorders,sexual addiction, over drinking, anxiety and depression. I am a certified weight loss specialist and hold an advanced certification in problematic sexual behavior and certification in systemic sex therapy with couples. I am extensively trained in body focused action approaches, hypnotherapy, brief solution focused therapy, and many couples approaches including Gottman and Imago, and EFT."

"Have you recently lost someone who meant so much to you? Are you having relationship difficulties that feel hopeless and painful? Do your emotions feel overwhelming? Does your depression or anxiety feel like it is too much? Making the call to stop the suffering and make a change and shift in your life probably feels like a hard thing to do (I get that). But I am confident that if you are ready to reach out to me you will find this to be one of the most important things you give to yourself and your relationships."

"When we experience intense emotions that result from life stress, transitions, or past experiences, it can be difficult to feel hope. We might feel stuck, as if we have always felt this way. You do not have to do this alone. I work together with my clients in re-connecting with their strengths and building a strong positive relationship with themselves."

"I appreciate your interest! Now is a great time to make some positive changes. My specialties include working with couples and individual adult women and men. Individually, we focus on building healthy relationships, setting boundaries, reducing anxiety, past family dynamics and boosting personal coping skills. I also work with adult traumatic experiences, grief and questions of faith. With couples, we explore effective communication, understanding, realistic expectations, emotional safety, resolving family of origin and/or other individual struggles, and creating a meaningful connection with one another."

Within a holistic approach, my work has always been focused on health promotion and personal growth. I strive to provide a secure environment in which my clients can explore their concerns and search for alternatives in order to solve their problems and reach their goals. It is amazing how people can transform their lives when they set their minds and hearts to do it."

"I work to alleviate suffering and set people free. There are many ways to live an authentic life and it helps to have someone to help you navigate your choices or maybe even see choices you might not have discovered yet. I can also help you recover from trauma, heal grief and loss, learn how to cope with being highly sensitive or having disabilities, depression, addictions or other issues."

"Life can be challenging, especially when you are perceived as different. The world can be cruel to people who are unique and it can lead to feelings of: shame, loneliness, anxiety, fear, and sadness. Please know that you are not alone in this. I offer a safe place where you can allow your authentic self to emerge. Through our connection in therapy, we can explore your challenges and strengths. Using our relationship in session as a guide, you will have the opportunity to discover new insights and move towards your goals. My work centers on helping relationships and adults."

"I love doing therapy with individuals who muster the courage to do the work. You can rely on me to take the time to build trust and listen to your fears and concerns. Rapport is important to me because it sets the tone for an honest appraisal of who you are and where you truly want to be. My hope is that my clients feel supported in their purpose. (NOTE: Josh McAdams, Clinical Director at McAdams Therapy accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield. Other therapists on staff are not in network with BCBS.)"

"My philosophy to life and how I practice therapy is beautifully captured by the word "Ubuntu". This is a Bantu (South African) word that means "I am because we are", or "In being known by you - I know myself". I believe that each of us has a deep-seated desire to know others and to be known by others. My goal is to create a safe space where we can explore, know, and understand our whole selves - even the parts that we are sometimes afraid to look at."

"Your healing has already started. I know this because you've made a decision to seek help. And right now, you are taking the next important step of searching for a therapist who best matches your personality. These remarkable actions demonstrate bravery, determination, and intellect."

"Seeking a therapist can be a task. All sorts of questions come to mind such as "Will this person understand what I have going on in my life?" "Will I connect and trust this person with the events of my life?" "Will I feel safe to reveal some of the emotions that I am feeling?" One of my goals for therapy is to provide a space for you and those answers. I help guide the client and build awareness while at the same time building connection and trust. "

"I bring an honest and authentic intention to work with you as a unique, whole person and one that is not defined by a label or diagnosis. Together, we will explore your experiences and if you are up to it talking about it, previous trauma(s). I provide a warm, empathetic and judgement-free environment. I enjoy partnering with clients who are curious and common client themes are stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues (romantic, family or work) and clients needing assistance in moving forward with hopefulness, grace and purpose. Our world is beautiful yet complex; we will collaborate on finding the best path for you."

"I am committed to building meaningful, collaborative therapeutic relationships with clients making the brave choice to reach out for support. Change is inevitable and can be quite difficult at times. I’ve learned that although pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Within the context of therapy, it is possible to draw upon your strengths and values to develop a new relationship with your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I view life as a combination of determinism and free will. There will surely be events in life that are outside of your control, although your response to those events is up to you."

"Finding a therapist can be an overwhelming task. Finding a therpaist that is a good "fit" for you and provides an atmosphere you feel in is very important. Read through my information and call me if it seems we would be a good match. I use a holistic approach that includes mindfulness, interpersonal strategies and is interspersed with humor when possible. My intention is that we will work together to highlight your strengths and discuss your challenges to increase feelings of self-acceptance and self-confidence in your day-to-day life."

Together we'll embark on the healing necessary to help you step into your fullest and vibrant potential."

"My style is caring, compassionate, and direct. Expect to be listened to deeply and fully supported as we focus all of our attention on helping you feel better.
