Welcome! My name is Mary and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in San Diego. Living your fullest life is the framework to my practice and my work with individuals, couples, families and children. It is also the grounding motto that I choose to live my own life by. Living your fullest life is a way of embracing the many ebbs and flows that life has to offer. Learning to do this gracefully and without resistance can sometimes take guidance and support.

About Me

I have been helping individuals, couples, families and children for over 10 years in a variety of different treatment settings. I have taken a particular interest in serving underprivileged communities, working with trauma survivors, and creating mental health programs within these communities. I also enjoy public speaking and training other therapists and counselors in the areas of mental health and crisis management. I have collaborated with the San Diego County office of Behavioral Health to provide education to school faculty, children and families in the community on mental health issues, the warning signs of depression and suicide as well as where and how to seek help.

​

I believe that together in a therapeutic setting, you can learn to embrace and explore parts of your life that can be uncomfortable or causing  distress. By leaning into these often uncomfortable areas, you also open yourself up to new solutions, new ideas, and a fuller more alive experience.

​

It would be a pleasure to join you on your journey of improving your life, relationships, and over all well-being. I use a gentle, strength based, collaborative approach to help you build insight, self awareness and find meaning and solutions to your life’s journey. My goal is to help you create your fullest life, however you choose to define it.
