It is impossible to steer a parked car. Therapy, for many, is a way to press the gas pedal on a part of their mental health journey. Starting on unmarked and unfamiliar terrain is a daunting experience. Thus, Mary Elizabeth is passionate about providing an open and secure environment in which clients can authentically and safely express themselves. As the client steers their car, Mary Elizabeth partners with and journeys alongside her clients through a creative and compassionate lens.

Mary Elizabeth utilizes an eclectic treatment approach to individually meet the needs of each client, including aspects of Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Brief-Solution Focused Therapy, Family Systems, and other modalities. She enjoys working with people of all ages, covering a wide variety of concerns including grief, anxiety, depression, self-identity struggles, and difficult life transitions.

Mary Elizabeth received her BS in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In her free time, she enjoys playing guitar, piano, singing, community theater, being involved in her local church, and spending quality time with her friends and dog.
