While her focus is trauma and PTSD, Maryann treats all aspects related to mental health including spiritual concerns, depression, anxiety, self-worth, abuse history, identity and sexual issues and beyond.

Maryann became fascinated with human resiliency and the ability to heal during her undergraduate studies. She focused on humankind’s immense ability to overcome throughout history, even after suffering severe trauma, poverty, war and genocide. Maryann continued her learning by working abroad in several geographical areas challenged by intense poverty and violence. This led her to more in-depth research on the human experience, particularly human suffering and the ability to not only survive but to thrive.

Her passion for seeking healing and cultivating resiliency brought her to pursue her MS and become a Clinically Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT). In order to focus more intensely on her specific passion to relieve the debilitating effects of trauma, PTSD and other life challenges, she became an Advanced Certified Hypnotherapist (ACHT) in a two-year intensive experiential training. This propelled her own continuing transformation and solidified her expertise in helping others receive relief and healing.

Maryann’s diverse life experiences mirror her diverse experiences in the mental health field. She has a wide range of training and professional expertise, from her work at a psychiatric inpatient residential facility with adolescents, to her long-time specializations in trauma and PTSD, to her current private practice setting where she continues to be passionate about providing consistent high quality care.
