My journey to Christian counseling
During my career as a counselor, I have gained the necessary job-related skills to help others in an empathic way by using active listening, reflective feedback, and unconditional positive regard. I have always strived to remain unbiased in my ethical scope of practice. I recently acquired my Certification in Christian Counseling, which I feel is a further calling for me as I assist clients navigating faithfully along life's path. My background in counseling has evolved in a wide variety of settings, demographics, and populations. As a school-based mental health therapist, I have worked with adolescents who have suffered from many ACE’s (Adverse Childhood Experiences) which have affected their overall mental, physical, and emotional health. I have enjoyed my career helping others and have found it very rewarding. As a Board Certified Christian Counselor, I feel that I can further help others as they navigate their spiritual struggles. Faith is a powerful foundation for growth.
Meet Mary: Your Guide to Faithful Transformation
Welcome to Christian Counseling and Spiritual Growth. I'm Mary, and I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and wholeness. Discover my passion for helping others and how my unique approach can support your spiritual and emotional well-being.

My counseling style and what to expect
My areas of specialty include working with individuals experiencing anxiety, trauma, life transitions, stress, and emotional challenges related to difficult life experiences. With additional post-master’s training in addiction and trauma counseling, I understand how past experiences and adverse childhood events (ACEs) can influence a person’s thoughts, behaviors, and overall well-being. Together, we work toward healing, resilience, and healthier coping strategies. I also specialize in supporting adolescents and young adults who may be facing emotional, behavioral, or family challenges. My experience as a school-based therapist has given me valuable insight into the unique pressures young people face today, including academic stress, social challenges, and the impact of trauma.

Core beliefs and faith-integrated healing
As a Board Certified Christian Counselor, I offer faith-integrated counseling for those who desire to include their spiritual beliefs as part of the healing process. I believe that faith can be a powerful source of hope, strength, and guidance when navigating life’s difficulties. For clients who wish, we can explore biblical principles, spiritual growth, and how faith can support emotional healing and personal transformation. My approach to counseling is rooted in empathy, active listening, reflective feedback, and unconditional positive regard. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel heard, respected, and supported.
