Mary was wonderful to work with for 2.5 years when my dad was sick, in the weeks leading up to his death and in my early stages of grief. She continued to help me with managing my anxiety and so many things over the years. She is so kind and thoughtful and she felt invested in me as a patient. Highly recommend Mary!

I have loved my time with Mary since I started on Better Help a year and a half ago. She helped me through my dad's sickness and death, and with so many other things in my life. I never regret my therapy sessions and always feel better after. I feel like I also have more tools in my toolbox now to deal with life's daily pressures.
More about Mary

- LCSW
Hello! My name is Mary and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Tennessee where I have been practicing for more than 12 years. Through my career, I have the honor and privilege of serving individuals of all ages navigate various life challenges and gain the self-awareness and confidence to be their best.
I believe life is a journey with many ups and downs and twists and turns. I specialize in helping others who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or mood, postpartum, and eating disorders. These are often brought on by major life events, parenting difficulties, career challenges, weight struggles, or general lack of life direction. I encourage mindfulness and coach my clients to focus on the here and now and what they can control in order to create a better tomorrow.
I use an eclectic model approach which is flexible, multifaceted and client-driven therapy. I believe each client is unique and I strive to tailor my approach to ensure the most effective methods available to address the client's individual needs.
I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, trauma-focused therapy and have extensive training in yoga for mood/trauma/addiction, ADHD and addiction.
Happiness and fulfillment is not reserved only for some. We all have a special place in this world and are meant to shine. If you are experiencing a setback, it would be my pleasure to get to know you and help you gain control of what is holding you back.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She has helped me more than I can express. Highly recommend her for anyone.
Mary is an amazing listener and aids my healing in a safe and comforting way!
Mary is such a kind and compassionate person that these qualities shine through in my working with her. I really feel cared for. I feel especially free and comfortable to express my emotions which are often sad. She is a great listener. BW
Extremely good listener, and non judgemental, but knows when to make me question my assumptions. Love working with her.
Mary has been very helpful to help me to sort out my intentions and better communicate with my family members.
She has been a great help to me.
I have tried a few other therapist in the past that did not work out, but Mary is by far the best. She listens intently and gives helpful feedback. I highly recommend her.
So far, I absolutely adore Mary.
