New to Grow
Hi, my name is Mary. I assist individuals in their personal and professional relationships, as well as couples and families navigating the challenges they face. I also support seniors and their families as they confront and cope with emotional transitions and life changes. I’ve been privileged to help people for many years. I received my master’s degree from La Salle University and have been in private practice ever since, earning an M.A. with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy and an emphasis in Pastoral Counseling. In working with couples, I help strengthen relationships, improve communication, and navigate challenges successfully together. I invite you to Google my name and read a few of my reviews. A quick note about insurance coverage for couples counseling: Couples counseling focused solely on relationship concerns is typically not covered by insurance. For this type of counseling, sessions are offered at my private pay rate, which allows us to focus fully on your goals as a couple. My private rate is $100.00 per hour. If you plan to use insurance, coverage requires that one partner (the identified patient on the insurance plan) is experiencing a diagnosable mental health condition, as defined by ICD codes. I’m happy to talk this through with you and help determine which option may be the best fit for your situation before we meet. Thank you, Mary
I'll listen, and together we'll figure out how to address what's happening. You. Your needs are what matter to me. While I utilize a variety of counseling approaches, all are grounded in respect, trust, and honor for you as the client.
I believe that people have the resources within themselves to attain happiness and fulfillment. My role as a therapist is to help you tap into your strengths, guide you in understanding the processes of change you are experiencing, and motivate you while teaching skills that you can implement to achieve your personal, relational, and professional goals.
My ideal client is an individual or a couple who wants to be happier, strives to be happier, and is open to learning the skills required to live a fulfilling life. An individual or couple who cares about themselves and others. I serve as a helper and a guide, teaching, and coaching individuals and couples as they engage in more satisfying relationships in their personal, social, and professional lives.
Couples Counseling
I teach couples communication skills needed to successfully navigate misunderstandings and upsets, while creating boundaries and strategies that can be implemented effectively throughout the relationship.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I help individuals and couples understand and develop skills that are key to changing attitudes and behaviors. The skills I teach target the thinking and behavior that needs to change in order to attain happiness and fulfillment.
Strength-Based
This approach uses the strengths we already possess to help us discover, refine, and build aspects of our thinking and behavior that we want to strengthen.
