Background and approach

She emphasizes practical skills people can use between sessions to feel steadier day to day. Her style is warm and collaborative. She aims to create a sense of safety so change can take hold.

Conversations look at patterns in mood, anxiety, and connection, and at how those patterns affect interactions with others. This approach can help when someone feels anxious, numb, overwhelmed, or trapped in repeating relationship dynamics. It is also used for grief, trauma, mood shifts, panic, social anxiety, and career or life transitions.

An initial consultation is offered to see whether the approach feels like a good match. The therapist and client work together to set goals and choose practical steps to improve daily functioning and relationships.

How somatic and attachment approaches work online

Mary blends somatic work, attachment-based methods, and mindfulness to help people feel more regulated and connected. Somatic Therapy encourages noticing physical sensations and movements to calm the nervous system and reduce anxiety or panic. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships to understand how those patterns affect mood and interactions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices for staying present and reducing overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will ask about goals, history, and what feels helpful. Then she and the client try methods, adjust as needed, and pick skills that fit daily life and relationships.

Online sessions can be done by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to suit different needs. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people join from home, work, or other convenient places. The variety of formats also supports ongoing practice between sessions and makes it easier to use techniques when they are needed most.
