About Mary
As a licensed therapist in Missouri, I bring nearly three decades of compassionate counseling experience to supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding the unique emotional landscapes of each person’s journey, with specialized expertise in addressing stress, anxiety, family dynamics, grief, and self-esteem concerns.
I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore personal growth, heal from past experiences, and develop meaningful strategies for navigating difficult emotions. My therapeutic work spans a wide range of focus areas, including communication challenges, social anxiety, life transitions, trauma recovery, and women’s issues.
My commitment is to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance. Whether you’re struggling with relationship dynamics, personal identity, workplace stress, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I’m dedicated to helping you cultivate resilience, self-compassion, and authentic connection.

- “Mary is thoughtful, respectful, and thinks outside the box. Many therapists and counselors I’ve worked with in the past are quick to pigeonhole me or use techniques that are by-the-book. Mary’s creativity and thoughtfulness has accelerated my journey for the better!”

- “Mary continues to provide very insightful, nonjudgmental, and compassionate counseling with each session we have. She allows me to be the navigator of the sessions, but if I reach a “mental block”, she never fails to be ready with questions which prompt me to pivot my point of view or perhaps reframe what is going on in my life. Because of her, I’ve grown as an individual and healed so much trauma. She’s the best!”
