If you’re longing to feel more grounded in who you are—and ready to explore why life or relationships keep repeating the same painful patterns—Mary might be the right therapist for you. She creates a safe, steady space where clients can explore their pain story; identity and self-image; and relationships without fear of judgment. Many of her clients are trying to make sense of who they are outside of others’ expectations—whether they’re teens stepping into adulthood or women reflecting on how they lost themselves along the way. Mary offers a therapeutic space that is thoughtful, calm, and deeply healing—a place to pause, explore your internal world, clarify your values, and prepare for the next phase of life or a more intentional relationship.
Mary’s clinical presence is mature, deeply compassionate, and quietly insightful. She brings warmth, humor, and a grounded energy that helps clients feel known. Mary gently guides clients in learning how to self-regulate, set boundaries, and recognize what they truly want or need rather than on what others expect from them.
Mary also brings a quiet spiritual confidence to her work. As a Christian therapist, she holds faith as a grounding presence in her life and practice—but never imposes it in the therapy room. Parents often feel reassured knowing their teen’s therapist shares their values, even if the teen isn’t looking for faith-based counseling. Mary offers a spiritually-sensitive space where issues of identity, worth, and relationship with God can be explored with honesty and grace. Whether faith is central, something you’re questioning, or simply part of the backdrop, Mary is someone who listens deeply, honors your story, and helps weave your faith into counseling in a comfortable, healing way.

Mary supports women and teen girls navigating anxiety, identity confusion, emotional overwhelm, and the painful patterns that can keep them feeling stuck in relationships or disconnected from themselves. Her clients are often people who’ve spent years taking care of others, trying to be “good,” “capable,” or “in control,” only to find themselves exhausted, uncertain, and unsure of what they actually want or need. Mary helps clients reconnect with their own voice—gently peeling back the layers of expectation and pressure to make space for something more honest and whole.
Mary is especially skilled at working with women who feel like they’ve repeated the same relational story over and over—whether in dating, friendship, or family dynamics. She helps clients get clear on what’s driving those patterns and supports them in doing the deep, often emotional work of preparing for healthier, more aligned relationships in the future. A key part of her work includes helping clients clarify their values—what matters most to them, and how they want to show up in the world based on those truths, not just on old roles or survival strategies.
Mary brings a warm, validating presence to therapy, and clients often say that being with her feels like being known—like she understands their inner world even if they don’t have the words for it yet. She has a gentle, grounding presence, but she also brings a soft sense of humor and lightness that puts people at ease. Her style blends talk therapy, somatic psychology, parts work, and EMDR with practical tools like grounding exercises and coping strategies that support nervous system regulation and emotional resilience.
Whether she’s working with a teenager overwhelmed by school and social pressure, or an adult woman untangling from years of perfectionism and performance-based identity, Mary creates a space where healing is possible—not because it’s forced, but because it’s safe enough to unfold. Her clients leave with more clarity, self-trust, and an internal foundation that allows them to live in alignment with who they truly are.
Are you a woman who is weary of the dating scene and how it’s impacting your self-esteem and sense of hope? Mary works with women who are ready to step out of unhealthy patterns and into relationships that reflect their values, boundaries, and worth. Whether you’re recovering from repeated disappointments or preparing for a future relationship with intention, Mary offers a space to explore your story, reconnect with your identity, and build the emotional clarity needed to choose differently—with confidence and care. For clients who desire it, Mary also helps explore these patterns through a faith-centered lens—reclaiming your God-given worth, inviting God into your healing, and rediscovering hope for relationships that align with your values and calling.
Perhaps you’re stuck and can’t figure out how to take the next step in life, your career, or a relationship. You’re standing at a crossroads, sensing that change is needed but unsure which direction is yours to take. The pressure to figure it out—while still holding everything together—can feel overwhelming. Mary offers a space to slow down, listen inward, and gently explore what’s beneath the confusion. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition or simply feeling the quiet ache of “something’s not right,” she’ll help you untangle internal barriers, clarify your values, and take meaningful next steps. For those who desire it, Mary honors the role of faith, spiritual curiosity, or God’s guidance in the process. You don’t have to have it all figured out—just be willing to begin.
Mary works with women and teen girls who are carrying quiet burdens—self-doubt, relational hurt, anxiety, and the pressure to be someone they’re not. Her approach is calm and gentle, collaborative and relational, and deeply respectful of each client’s pace and story.
