Welcome! My name is Mary and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Living your fullest life is the framework to my practice and my work with individuals, couples, families and children. It is also the grounding motto that I choose to live my own life by. Living your fullest life is a way of embracing the many ebbs and flows that life has to offer. Learning to do this gracefully and without resistance can sometimes take guidance and support. I have been helping individuals, couples, families and children for 13 years in a variety of different treatment settings. I believe that together, in a therapeutic setting, you can learn to embrace and explore parts of your life that can be uncomfortable or causing distress. By leaning into these often uncomfortable areas, you also open yourself up to new solutions, new ideas, and a fuller more alive experience.

I chose Mary after reading her bio because I felt she is right along the lines of the type of guidance I’m looking for within family dynamics and strengthening relationships, as well as her motto of living life to the fullest. I’ve only had my first session with her but I look forward to working with her and making changes and improvements with her guidance.

I loved my session with Mary. She really makes me feel heard and helps me to better understand my emotions and how to deal with them in a healthy way.
