Hello!  I'm Mary!

Mary earned her Master's degree in the Clinical Psychology Program at the  University of Texas at Tyler. She completed her Bachelor of Science degree from Northern Illinois University, where she gained a solid foundation in psychology and developed a passion for helping people.

Mary's interest in psychology began after she completed her undergraduate degree and worked as an Applied Behavior Analysis therapist for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder for three years. During this time, she witnessed the positive impact that psychological interventions can have on people's lives and developed a strong desire to help people achieve happiness and subjective well-being.

​

Mary has a keen interest in working with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, and PTSD, and she is well-versed in using evidence-based practices to help her clients. She is particularly interested in utilizing Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy to help people overcome their challenges.

​

As a therapist, Mary considers herself calm and empathetic, which is why her therapeutic approach is person-centered. She strives to establish a strong therapeutic alliance with her clients and create a safe and supportive environment where they can share their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Mary is committed to treating all her clients with utmost care and respect, and she believes that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a happy and fulfilling life.

Ultimately, Mary's goal is to become a Licensed professional Counselor and work with underserved populations. She is determined to use her skills and expertise to make a positive impact in people's lives and help them overcome their challenges.
