About Me

Hi, I’m MaryAnne, and I’m glad you’re here.

I believe therapy is a space where real change can begin—with curiosity, compassion, and the courage to explore your story.

But healing isn’t just in our heads—it's in our bodies, too. That’s why I incorporate somatic practices and emotion regulation techniques to help you reconnect with yourself physically and emotionally. Whether it's grounding through the breath, noticing where stress lives in the body, or building tools to ride out difficult feelings, we’ll work together to build awareness, resilience, and calm.

Services

Couples & Family Support

(For Existing Clients)

While my primary focus is individual therapy, I occasionally offer short-term couples or family sessions for existing clients when it supports your personal work. These sessions can be helpful when you’re navigating conflict, making decisions together, or wanting to improve communication with loved ones. This is always something we decide collaboratively and intentionally, based on your goals and current needs in therapy.

Individual Therapy

Most of my work centers on individual therapy with adults navigating a wide range of experiences—stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, identity exploration, and more. Whether life feels off track, overwhelming, or you’re just seeking a new direction, therapy can offer a meaningful space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect in our first session?

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. I’ll ask some questions to better understand what brings you to therapy, what you’re hoping to work on, and any relevant background. You’re also welcome to ask me questions—about my approach, what therapy might look like, or anything else you’re wondering. The goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, seen, and supported.

How long will sessions and the course of therapy last?

Sessions will last around 53 minutes and can be scheduled weekly, biweekly, or monthly, according to your preferences, availability, and needs. Many clients start with weekly sessions to build momentum and consistency, but we can adjust frequency based on your needs and goals.

The course of therapy may run anywhere between twelve weeks and indefinitely. Some clients may need a few months of therapy to kickstart their healing and get themselves back on track. Some clients are “lifers” and find the routine check-ins and therapeutic rapport beneficial to their wellbeing for years. And anywhere in between. The answer depends on a variety of factors but will absolutely be something we discuss.
