Mary works with individuals and couples to address attachment and emotional enmeshment, moral injury and religious trauma, performance anxiety, personality dynamics, and systems that cause people to feel stuck in life and relationships.

You’re used to being the strong responsible one—the one who holds everything together—but lately the stress, pain, and exhaustion is catching up with you. Do you feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? You are feeling the effects of burnout, chronic pain, a difficult transition, or wounds from the past that still echo in the present. You want relief, clarity, and a place where you can finally set the weight down for a while. Most of all, you want to feel calmer, steadier, more connected to yourself, and hopeful again.

I see kids, teens, and adults who are bright, thoughtful, and exhausted from trying to hold it all together, hoping testing might bring answers. Maybe no one has truly seen them. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, burnout, or some religious trauma, and maybe they wonder if ADHD or autism explains lifelong patterns. They need clarity, validation, and practical next steps: and zero judgment. Their goal is to understand their brain, reduce shame, and function with more ease. They want answers so they can stop blaming themselves and start living confidently and authentically. I'm a trained neuropsychologist and here to help.

My approach to therapy is built on a simple foundation: you are the expert of your own life, that's how 4U2U was created. I believe that with trust and an open heart, the therapeutic relationship we build becomes the most powerful tool for change. There's no pressure, just a conversation where you share as much or as little as you are ready to share. I believe that seeking therapy is one of the most courageous and profound gifts you can give to your mind, heart and soul.

Life is challenging and I truly believe that we are all doing our best to navigate its complexities. However, we don’t get it right all the time and so it leads us to face the consequences of our own choices and the choices of others. These consequences can sometimes feel overwhelming, trapping us in ineffective, old strategies.
As your counselor, my goal is to help you find safety, empowerment, and be fully present so that you can be the person you were created to be. Together, we will work through your current struggles, resolve past hurts, and gain insight into how these experiences shape your present choices and relationships.

In a blink of an eye, you're now a parent of a tween/teen(s). Your child has become w/drawn, negative, loss of interest & enjoyment of activities they once enjoyed. There's a change in their sleep, eating habits, doing poorly in school, isolating from friends and family, showing risky or harmful behaviors, even possible suicide thoughts. Your child shares with you that they feel depressed, anxious and don’t want to go to school. You try asking them what’s wrong, just to be yelled, “nothing, you wouldn’t even understand. You turn to your partner for support just to find yourself feeling angry, emotionally overwhelmed, invalidated.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
