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.

About online counseling

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.
