About Mary
She works with adults, teens, and children to address relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with eating and body image concerns, fertility questions, and the strain of caregiver roles. Sessions aim to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for talking through whatever feels most urgent.
Mary often helps clients untangle family of origin patterns, blended family stress, and communication problems. She also assists people facing control issues, dependency concerns, and the fallout from separation or divorce. Her approach emphasizes clear goals and small, achievable changes that fit daily life.
Clients can expect practical conversations about coping skills, motivation, and building confidence. She encourages people to name what matters and to practice new ways of relating and self-care between meetings. Mary values collaboration and sets a steady pace that reflects each person’s needs.
Outside of work she enjoys riding her bike, skiing, cooking for family, and reading. She recognizes that reaching out takes courage and aims to make the first steps toward therapy as manageable as possible.

Another approach emphasizes improving communication and problem solving within family relationships, which can reduce conflict and make parenting feel more manageable.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary works with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and daily life. Together they track progress and adjust strategies so therapy stays practical and relevant.
