About Mary
Hi, I’m Mary.
I'm endlessly curious about why we think, feel, and respond the ways we do. Our reactions often make a lot more sense when we understand what's happening beneath the surface, and I love helping people explore that with curiosity and compassion.
Some people come to counseling with a clear understanding of their patterns, while others aren't quite sure why they feel stuck or keep finding themselves in the same situations. I'm interested in understanding your experiences, the relationships and circumstances that have shaped you, and how those experiences may still be influencing your life today. We can explore those things together, at a pace that feels right for you.
My style is warm, collaborative, and deeply person-centered. We can slow down, notice what’s happening, and leave room for your own way of making sense of it.
Experience & training
A relational lens.
A mind-body background.
I’m a graduate student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Winthrop University. I provide graduate-level counseling through Everyday Wellness SC under clinical supervision.
I have more than eleven years of experience working with people around emotional patterns, relationships, anxiety, overwhelm, and self-understanding. My background includes traditional naturopathy and holistic mind-body work.
Parts work and Internal Family Systems-informed approaches, somatic awareness, compassionate inquiry, mindfulness-based approaches, and relational work all inform how I listen. I pay attention to the person in front of me and what feels useful to them.

Curiosity.
Care.
Your perspective.
A trauma-informed approach means paying attention to your pace, your experience, and the context of your life. We can be curious about a reaction without assuming that everything difficult belongs to an old wound.
I want there to be room for what you feel, what you need, and what you notice. Your perspective is part of the work throughout.
