Get To Know the Counselor

Mary’s thoughts on Counseling:

“Everyone experiences difficulties in their life, and counseling can help get you through tough times. Helping clients become the best, most authentic version of themselves is something I strive for. I also hope to give my clients the ability to have compassion and gain insight on areas of growth and strengths within themselves.”

Outside of the Therapy Office:

“I love spending time with family and having game nights with my friends. I also enjoy learning new things (anything and everything), watching and listening to musicals, and spending quality time with my two cats.”

Philosophical/Theoretical Approach to Counseling

As a Humanistic, trauma-informed counselor, Mary creates a warm, empathetic space for individuals seeking healing, self-understanding, and growth. Rooted in the belief that each person holds the inner capacity for transformation, Mary approaches counseling with authenticity, deep respect, and a commitment to honoring each client’s unique lived experience.

Guided by trauma-informed principles, Mary prioritizes safety, trust, collaboration, and empowerment in the therapeutic relationship. She is dedicated to fostering a nonjudgmental environment where clients feel genuinely seen and heard as they process trauma, reconnect with themselves, and move toward healing.

Drawing from Humanistic and Emotion-focused modalities such as Person-Centered Therapy, EFT, and MBCT. Mary supports clients in exploring their identities, emotions, and personal values. They view each client as the expert of their own experience and serve as a compassionate companion on the path to self-acceptance and holistic well-being.

Mary specializes in working with adult and late adolescent individuals navigating complex trauma, grief, anxiety, relational challenges, and identity development. Her approach is grounded, empowering, and deeply human—centering the whole person in every step of the journey.
