Licensed Professional Counselor
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. What your character, for it becomes your destiny.”-Author unknown

Mary’s therapeutic approach is solution-based and cognitive-behavioral therapy-focused. Mary believes that our thoughts affect our emotions and behaviors and that if we can learn how to manage our thoughts, we can better manage stressors that may happen in our lives. Mary also believes that learning to implement problem-solving techniques into our daily lives may help us to make healthy decisions and choices in life.
