About Mary
Mary uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support people through trauma, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She also works with eating and body image struggles and common complications like codependency, control issues, and guilt or shame. Her practice includes attention to caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and blended family or fertility-related strain.
In sessions Mary creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and figure out practical next steps. She helps parents navigate parenting challenges and supports people working through family of origin issues or separation and divorce. Conversations are paced to each person’s needs and goals.
Outside of work she enjoys biking, skiing, cooking for family, and reading. Mary recognizes that reaching out for help takes courage. She invites people to take that step and explore whether therapy can help them cope, regain balance, and build everyday coping skills.

Another approach focuses on improving relationships and parenting by teaching communication strategies and problem-solving steps that can be tried between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest ways of working that match those priorities. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which techniques fit best and how to pace them.

Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit appointments around work, caregiving, or medical needs without travel. Remote meetings can also make shorter check-ins easier and reduce time away from daily responsibilities, which can help keep progress steady while managing busy schedules.
