At times, life can feel like trying to steer a parked car - you’re hoping to move, but the wheels won’t turn. Therapy, for many, becomes a place to begin moving again. Starting on unmarked and unfamiliar terrain can be daunting. With this in mind, Mary Elizabeth is passionate about providing an open and secure environment that allows you to express yourself authentically and regain momentum. As you steer your car, she partners alongside you with creativity and compassion.

 Mary Elizabeth takes an individualized approach to care. She draws from Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, among other evidence-based modalities. She considers it an honor to work with adults and couples, helping you build the confidence, skills, and clarity to journey forward. She works with clients across a variety of concerns, with special interests in grief and loss, anxiety disorders, relationship challenges, and life transitions. 

Mary Elizabeth received her MS in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Outside of her clinical work, she enjoys pursuits of music, faith, and community. In her work with you, Mary Elizabeth believes healing is a meaningful and intentional process – one that is not meant to be done alone.
