About me

I am currently a licensed Counselor in Montana specializing in mental health issues along with issues dealing with substance abuse and addictions. I have a private practice where I offer services to adults, adolescents, children, and families. I also work as a clinical director in a Department of Corrections setting providing substance abuse and mental health treatment for individuals with Felony DUI's. My expertise is in working with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and also in helping children deal with trauma. Living in rural Montana, I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients with various mental health concerns.

My counseling style is empathetic in nature. I begin by getting to know my client and what will work best for them. The most frequent orientations that I utilize include cognitive-behavioral therapy, person centered, family systems, and mindfulness. I use an eclectic array of techniques that will be determined with the client and then utilized to develop a treatment plan unique to the client's concerns. I am currently offering EMDR sessions as I am working towards certification. EMDR sessions are held weekly and do require video sessions to be held. If you are interested in EMDR session, let me know and we can begin the process of completing the assessment to see if they would be a good fit for your needs.

Counseling is a process that can be very beneficial to help address various aspects of a person's life. I look forward to building a therapeutic relationship where we can work together to meet your needs.

I was in a rough patch of my life when I started with Mary and she really did a great job helping me get through it 10/10!

So far it has been nice to have friend and compassionate person to talk to. My husband and I needed help to re kindle communication after a challenge period in our life. She has been very helpful and is so kind!

Written on Sep 16, 2021 after therapy with Mary for 4 months on issues concerning relationship issues, grief, self esteem, and coping with life changes

I can hardly believe how quickly Mary was able to connect with me and ultimately turn me around. My outlook went from bleak to hopefully and now to confident. Mary offers timely wisdom, kindness, safety, and true things and she generously and carefully infuses into me somehow. There is still a pandemic, still all kinds of scary news, but I feel much better about everything. I feel better. Thank you Mary

Mary is an awesome human. Funny, witty, and empathetic, a joy to chat with.

Written on Mar 11, 2021 after therapy with Mary for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger management, career difficulties, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue

Mary seems to understand my struggles in life and gives me comfort in believing in my capability to heal myself and my nature.

I was the one who would never consider therapy because I was truly scared of it. I remember reading about, "why is it that there are more therapists (something about per square mile in rich parts of the world) than in other parts of the world" and I now am starting to understand the follies of human nature in which that derives from. As humans pursuing our deliberation people will try to cut you down, lie, show you a fake path, and steal your time - for what - power, money?

teen counseling has helped me find my truest power and spirit and I wish to guide more wisdom. It encourages me to keep going with a stronger light than I have ever had before.

I really like the fact that I could talk and talk, and Mary listened patiently. I probably needed to just pull it all out! Thank you, Mary!

She’s everything I never knew I needed in a therapist! I’m thoroughly impressed that this app matched us together! I don’t think I could have found her on my own. She gives me a lot of helpful perspectives that I don’t get from friends or family and I always leave a session feeling more in my power and more present.

Mary has been a blessing to work with! I am so grateful to have been able to work with her. She was very simplistic and straight to the point, which we appreciated! The workbooks she shared have been wonderful tools in helping us learn to communicate so much better. She is the only counselor I’ve spoken to that has been able to help me understand where I’m coming up short and how best to adjust in my role in the relationship. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you, Mary! ❤️

First session tonight with Mary, and she was wonderful. I had a lot of stuff together out, and she was empathetic, a great listener and really informative and reassuring. I am already booking in my next vis-a-vis session and look forward to working with her over the coming weeks!

Work with me!
