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.

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?

Want PEACE? Need JOY! Life can get pretty overwhelming, right? You keep striving, struggling to keep it under control, if even for a moment. It's exhausting! You end up feeling stuck, burdened, anxious or depressed; not knowing where to turn or what steps to take. You lash out at others or judge and condemn yourself. You feel like you are coming up short of that 'best version' of yourself; the YOU that has always seemed just out of reach. I get it, I understand and I can help. In fact, helping people like you is my life's PASSION !

Now 100% ZOOM teletherapy counseling!! I am here to work with you to develop resilience against anxiety, depression---and any other painful or distressing issue. I am hoping for you to have a happy, creative, and productive life in a world full of challenges. Many patients need to verbalize their fears to be able to look at their situation from multiple perspectives. You can face the irrational aspects of worrisome thoughts. We can consider your prior coping mechanisms, to be replaced by more adaptive coping tools. Let's think of your life today and forward, accepting yourself more, and understanding how to deal with others.

You did everything right. Followed the rules, considered and anticipated everyone's needs and somehow still found yourself on the losing end of a curve ball you didn’t see coming. Looking back, you can see that you found too much of your worth in making others happy, in avoiding conflict to not "upset the cart". You truly believed that by following the rules and doing everything "right" that life would turn out the way it was supposed to. But now, your life is chaotic and confusing. You're feeling at such a loss for what to do and how to be in this world. You need a guide to help you make sense and turn things around - fast.

As a young working professional you may experience so many pressures coming from many directions. Pressures from the job itself, or from your relationships or maybe even your family members. But now you're realizing that these pressures are affecting you in a deep way. You notice that your health is also being affected. You are experiencing problems with high anxiety, depressed mood, irritability or even sleep. And you are also noticing that you are not feeling that passion for life that you once had, or even worse you may be considering giving up on one of those important areas of your life.

Life does not come with an instruction manual on how we can best navigate through our journey. Instead life is a learning process, which if we are lucky can involve insight and personal growth. At times we are fully capable to balance ourselves, our relationships and our schedules, yet other times not so much. Unhelpful feelings such as stress or frustration can too often resonate with us as we go about our daily routines. These potentially damaging reactions to life's obstacles can lead to making the once ordinary appear to be overwhelming or even unmanageable.

Now accepting new clients! Are you feeling anxious, depressed, emotional or overwhelmed? Do you feel disconnected from your partner or do you feel like you’re caught in a vicious cycle - arguing about the same things over and over again? If so, you aren't alone. My goal as your therapist is to empower you to overcome the obstacles that are preventing you from thriving. Through an approach that integrates mind and body, I can help you tap into the wisdom that is already inside of you to manage emotions better, increase self-esteem, learn healthy boundaries, and create and maintain fulfilling relationships

I'm a sex-positive, kink, and poly knowledgable therapist. Sex-positive, to me, is about embracing sexuality with an emphasis on consent and safer sex. I believe sex, your sexual identity, and sexual behaviors can be discussed without shame and awkwardness. I am a therapist who is open-minded, non-judgmental, and supportive of alternative sexual lifestyles, such as kink and ethical non-monogamy. I hope I can help create a safe space where you can explore and understand your sexuality and what that means for you and your relationships.

I believe that trauma is the universal experience --we all carry trauma with us--which is why I'm a trauma therapist with a focus on complex PTSD. I am EMDR trained and it is a primary part of my practice, but I draw on many therapeutic modalities to meet my client's needs. To me, therapy is about releasing the things that prevent us from moving toward ease in our daily lives, in our relationships, and in the way we show up in the world.

I want to be here for you. I know it can be difficult to choose someone you can trust to collaboratively guide you through this time. Here is a little about me to help you make your decision. I am a clinical and community psychologist which means I bring dual roles as a psychologist to my practice. As a clinical psychologist I employ the skills of understanding difficulties and how to intervene. As a community psychologist, I merge my understanding of self-empowerment, cultural/contextual knowledge and strength-based work into the healing process.

Welcome! I use a holisitic approach that includes mindfulness, interpersonal strategies, body sensation and humor when possible. We will work together to highlight your strengths and discuss your challenges and increase feelings of self-acceptance and self-confidence in your day-to-day life. In my practice I utilize talk therapy, movement and out of the office adventures (doctor visits, shopping for clothing, meals, walking) as they feel appropriate for the individual client.
