Hello

Hi there, I’m Mary, and I’m here to help you take the next step toward a healthier, happier you!

I’m a certified addictions counselor and certified anger management specialist practicing in Maryland. After graduating summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Maryland, I continued to deepen my passion for helping others by working toward my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a Forensic Specialization at Walden University. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of providing individual, group, family, and couples therapy across various settings, including inpatient, residential, and outpatient care.

 

My Approach

 

No two clients are alike, and that’s why I tailor my approach to meet you exactly where you are. I’m here to provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. Some of the therapeutic modalities I frequently use include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), and trauma-focused therapy, among others. Whether we explore your story through narrative therapy or tackle relationship dynamics using Imago therapy, my goal is to collaborate with you in a way that feels meaningful and impactful.

 

What I Specialize in

 

I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and individuals with co-occurring disorders. Over the years, I’ve gained experience helping clients tackle challenges like addictions, anger management, anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, substance misuse, grief, stress management, ADHD, bipolar disorder, self-esteem struggles, and more. My approach emphasizes building effective coping skills, achieving personal goals, and ultimately unlocking your fullest potential.

 

My Philosophy

 

I truly believe that you already have the answers to the questions you seek; my role is to guide and empower you to find them. Yes, things can feel heavy, overwhelming—even downright impossible—but you don’t have to face those moments alone. Together, we’ll uncover tools and strategies to help you regain control and find moments of light along the way. (And hey, we might even share a laugh or two while we’re at it!)

 

If you’re looking for someone to walk alongside you on your unique path to self-fulfillment and emotional health, I’d be honored to be that person. Think of me as your trusted coach, sounding board, and biggest cheerleader all rolled into one.

 

I can’t wait to meet you and start this meaningful work together. Here’s to your brighter days ahead!
