Mary is a compassionate therapist specializing in empowering trauma survivors as well as individuals affected by addiction to find groundedness in their day to day lives. Mary employs an attachment-based, relationally focused approach to therapy, integrating techniques such as polyvagal theory, mindfulness based cognitive therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
Specialized Expertise
Mary draws from her background in social work and counseling, integrating a distinctive systems-based approach into her practice. Her training in polyvagal theory enhances her understanding of individuals as interconnected systems whose nervous systems decide whether or not they can feel this interconnection. Mary has completed her training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and is working towards certification, with aspirations to become an EMDR consultant. Additionally, Mary has received extensive training and certification to help individuals dealing with substance use disorders
A Direct and Compassionate Approach
Mary is deeply committed to guiding clients in understanding the profound healing that can be found in connecting the mind and body. Through the integration of mindfulness based practices, Mary encourages clients to cultivate curiosity about themselves and their interactions with the world. Her application of polyvagal theory enables clients to grasp the interplay between their autonomic states, emotions, and relational connections, empowering them to recognize their ability to influence and transform these dynamics. Mary uses EMDR to rewire maladaptive autonomic responses linked to traumatic experiences with the goal of decreasing emotional distress, improving emotional regulation and bringing a greater sense of peace, resilience, and well-being.
Mary’s specialization extends to the intersection of trauma and addiction, where she utilizes her extensive training to address the complex dynamics underlying addictive behaviors. She understands that trauma often underlies addiction, and she skillfully navigates these intertwined issues to facilitate comprehensive healing. Additionally, Mary finds fulfillment in supporting family members who have loved ones struggling with addiction, providing them with guidance and tools to navigate these challenging circumstances with compassion and understanding.
Personal Touch and Philosophy
Mary’s therapeutic approach is characterized by warmth and empathy, while also allowing for honesty and openness.

Mary values the trust and connection she builds with her clients, and she is dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment where healing and personal growth can flourish.
Outside of her practice, Mary finds joy in reading, listening to podcasts, cooking and exploring the local forest preserves with her husband and their two children.
