More about me

Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 25 State: Virginia

I am a therapist licensed in Virginia with over 20 years of experience tailoring treatment services to each individual, honoring and respecting every unique life story.

I have also just recently become a life coach. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that a caring, authentic therapy relationship, combined with finely tuned, innovative interventions can shape life’s challenges into opportunities for growth and transformation. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion and I don't rely on labels, we are all evolving every day.

My therapy and counseling specialties include:

Individual psychotherapy

Anxiety, fear, and the courage to make it through adversity

Couple counseling & marriage therapy

Self-esteem, shame issues

Grief, trauma / PTSD or abuse therapy

Depression

Life coaching

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

I've only started working with Mary but she is very compassionate and easy to talk to. I already trust her after two sessions and was able to open up to her about some pretty big problems. She was able to help me navigate a difficult situation when I didn't know where to begin. Can't say enough about how hopeful I feel after talking to her.
