More about Mary
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I work with adults and teens facing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. My clients are often high-achieving professionals, caregivers, healthcare workers, and others seeking support during difficult periods of life. I provide a compassionate, collaborative space where clients can gain insight, build resilience, improve coping skills, and develop practical strategies for managing challenges, strengthening relationships, and creating meaningful, lasting change. Clients often come to my practice because of my extensive international experience in insecure, volatile areas.
My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. I help clients understand patterns contributing to distress, build resilience, and develop effective coping strategies. I have particular expertise in working with trauma, chronic stress, burnout, and the effects of insecurity and humanitarian crises, drawing on decades of international experience.
Seeking support takes courage, especially when life feels overwhelming. You do not have to face difficult challenges alone. Whether you are coping with stress, loss, trauma, or a major life transition, counseling can provide a space for healing, growth, and renewed perspective. I welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.
