“When things change inside you, things change around you – Unknown”

I have been working in the behavioral health field for 6 years with children and adolescents who are living with various disorders and environmental struggles. I graduated with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a focus on children and adolescents from Marquette University. I also have as a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with double minors in social work and human relations from the University of Iowa (Go Hawks!) I am currently nationally board certified in counseling, as well as being a Licensed Professional Counselor with the state of Wisconsin. I have experience working individually with people ages 6-18, and I have worked closely with my client’s parents as well as families. I take a person-centered, strengths-based approach to meet clients where they are. I believe building a strong relationship is the foundation of therapy. I think it is important to maintain a non-judgmental stance and instead look through a lens of curiosity throughout life, and especially in therapy. I am trauma informed and knowledgeable in both CBT and DBT, including specific interventions for OCD, Anxiety, Depression as well as self-harm and suicidality. The thing I love most about being a therapist is watching my clients grow and having the opportunity to be part of their journey. I pride myself on the passion I have for what I do, and how that translates into my ability to advocate for my clients.

Mary can be contacted directly at (414) 291-9487 ext 501

From emotional problems such as sadness, anxiety, and anger to difficulties with relationships, everyday responsibilities, and life transitions, stress and trauma can have a profound impact on our ability to feel well and engage fully with the world around us. It is my belief that despite these troubles we all have an incredible capacity for healing. Healing is not a one-size-fits-all experience, however, so I work with each person individually to create a plan that works to best meet their unique needs. I utilize elements from various theories, including Psychodynamic, DBT, and Poly-Vagal and enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. If this sounds like a comfortable fit for you, I invite you to reach out to me via email [email protected] at (414) 291-9487 ext. 501.
