About
Through compassionate guidance and an individualized plan, I help clients build strength, foster resilience, and reconnect with their natural capacity for clarity, calm, and confidence.
Meet Maryann
As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board-Certified Neurofeedback Practitioner (BCIA), I blend traditional psychotherapy with evidence-based and bioenergetic tools, including qEEG-guided neurofeedback and Zyto Scan technology, to help uncover and address patterns of stress that impact mental and physical health.
My approach is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Story Work, and nutrition and lifestyle wellness, integrating these modalities to support deep, sustainable healing from the inside out.
