About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over 28 years experience in the counseling field. I hold an Ed.D. in Counseling Psychology and have worked with clients ages 3 to 70 from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. My approach blends compassion with a practical, solution-focused mindset. I support individuals and families with concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, parenting challenges, and LGBTQIA+ related issues, offering a safe, collaborative space for growth and healing.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session is usually a "get to know you" session. We'll cover introductions, current challenges, expectations for therapy, some basic background information, possible goals moving forward, and whether the therapist-client fit feels right.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a provider, I strive to create a space that is supportive, compassionate, and free of judgment. My goal is for clients to feel comfortable and genuinely heard. I bring a strengths-based approach to therapy, viewing challenges as puzzles we can work through together, and I enjoy thinking creatively and outside the box to help clients find meaningful solutions.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with clients of all ages, life stages, and worldviews. In our work together, I focus on helping you recognize what's already working for you and how to build on those strengths to overcome obstacles increase resilience, and create meaningful change.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts patterns, understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop practice coping skills. My approach is collaborative, goal-oriented, and flexible, combining structure with a supportive, client-centered pace. I focus on providing tools clients can use both in and outside of sessions to promote lasting change.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I use DBT-informed strategies to help clients manage intense emotions, build coping skills, and improve relationships. My approach balances validation and change, teaching practical skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, tailored to each client's needs.

Mary Ann was a great balance of professional and very personable. She provided me with a variety of resources to get me on the path to healing from past trauma. I have already scheduled a 2nd appointment with her.

I just love having Mary Ann as my counselor. She is very warm and understanding. I like that she really listens does not judge me. She is good at coming up with solutions and comes prepared to our sessions. I highly recommend her as a counselor.
