Biography
I am a compassionate mental health counselor who graduated from Northwestern University with a child and adolescent specialization. I am deeply passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate life’s challenges, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, anger management, PTSD, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices, ensuring that each client feels heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where individuals can explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and build a stronger sense of self-worth. My goal is to help clients uncover their strengths, gain clarity, and create a path toward personal growth and resilience.

Mary has been very helpful! She is very communicative and has a great rapport with my niece. I do find it challenging to know how I should manage Brielle in a way that benefits our relationship. But maybe it’s too soon to navigate at the moment.

I’m so happy that i’ve found Mary! She’s so engaging, encouraging, a true pillar during my journey of becoming a stronger leader. Marry supports my efforts to work towards a regulated nervous system lol. I appreciate the approach that she brought to our session last night. I also appreciate her direction for our upcoming sessions that she has , all while still leaving room for me to share my most relevant thoughts. Thank you Mary!

I appreciate Mary’s attentiveness, Mary holds me accountable to the desires I want for myself. I appreciate that throughout my session she asks me questions that further my self awareness.Teaching me the value of holding space for my needs. I notice the freedom I have when speaking up for myself without guilt. I look forward to sessions down the line .. I think i’ve had about 4-5 sessions and I feel her approach has already helped me continue my self discovery with optimism and confidence.

It was helpful to share the behaviors we’ve been seeing and get some feedback. Mary offered advice on using a behavioral rewards system as well as discussing some of the challenges with our child separately. She’s very easy to talk with and she can see things from a different perspective.

This session was very helpful. I appreciated Mary’s grounded energy, enthusiasm, and how down-to-earth she was. Her excitement about working together made me feel hopeful. I also felt safe knowing she believes in Christ, even if she’s not a spiritual expert. I appreciated how she listened and clearly identified areas she wants to support me in. Overall, it was a great first session.
