Supervised by:

Mary works with couples and individuals seeking ways to ease their current symptoms of distress. Sessions typically include breath work, questioning assumptions, and drawing on individual strengths. Mary draws upon many lenses, including narrative, solution-focused, internal family systems, and mindfulness. Challenging thoughts and working through internal contradictions helps move people past that feeling of being stuck. Mary strives to use a client’s strengths, wisdom, and inner knowing to help find creative ways of growing through the current situation.
