I appreciate the way Mary talks to me and explain attitudes and behaviors related to my concerns. Although it is still very early to assess the overall experience so far, I'm satisfied and I feel I'm making a progress with Mary.

When life feels out of control, it can leave you feeling hurt, uncertain, and emotionally paralyzed. Most people they still don’t seek a therapist. You share your woes with everyone that you can tell your story to, until your friends no longer return your calls.
And you still don’t reach out, until it becomes less painful for you to change than stay where you are. Imagine feeling better after a few short weeks or months, instead of years... and keeping your friends.
I specialize in life transitions, marriage, relationships, anxiety, grief and loss, and chronic pain and health issues.
I provide individual, couples, and family therapy. I work to develop healthy therapeutic relationships, conducive to helping you heal and grow.
Together we will strive to create a relaxed, safe and non-judgmental environment in which you can express and explore who you are, and who you would like to become…and then become “that” person.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
