Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
Hi, I’m Mary, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. My approach is client-centered, and I’m dedicated to tailoring our sessions to meet your unique needs and goals. I’ve been working as a mental health professional in the Chicagoland area for about 19 years, and I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and anger management.
I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and anger management. I take a holistic approach—focusing on mind, body, and spirit—to help you move toward emotional balance and well-being. My role is to walk alongside you—offering support, guidance, and encouragement, and gently challenging you when you're ready for growth. I believe each person has the tools within themselves to heal and thrive, and I’m here to help you access those strengths.
Wherever you are on your journey, I’ll meet you there. Let’s begin this journey together!
