About Mari
Her work is grounded in understanding attachment patterns and practical problem solving. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current feelings. She combines that with cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and with client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on each person's goals.
Mari aims for clear, doable steps in therapy. That can mean setting short-term goals, practicing communication skills, or learning emotion regulation strategies drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She prefers an approachable, steady style that balances emotional exploration with concrete skills practice.
She brings four years of clinical experience to her practice as a licensed clinical social worker. That experience includes working with people from diverse backgrounds and with a range of life stressors, including caregiving strain, abandonment wounds, and the fallout from separation and divorce.
If someone is unsure what to expect, Mari encourages a first conversation to map concerns and priorities. She works in English and practices in North Carolina. Questions about formats or scheduling should be confirmed when booking.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand triggers around trust, abandonment, and close relationships so they can build steadier connections.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. The therapist follows the person's pace and priorities, helping them find their own solutions and sense of direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mari will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean focusing on attachment issues one week and practicing cognitive or behavioral skills the next.
Session logistics should be confirmed when booking since specific formats were not listed.
