Mary is a Master of Clinical Counselling student at City University in Canada, currently completing her practicum with OK Clinical Therapy Group. She offers counselling support for individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and feeling “stuck.” Her goal is to create a steady, down-to-earth space where clients can sort through the challenges they’re facing and take practical steps toward feeling more grounded and confident.
Mary’s approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and person-centred. She believes meaningful change can happen when people feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. Mary is particularly passionate about supporting those who have trouble asking for help or who may be unsure if counselling is right for them.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy while continuing to explore what best fits each client’s unique needs. Mary values creativity, adaptability, and ongoing learning, and she’s always willing to adjust her approach to support her clients’ growth and self-understanding.
Before entering the counselling field, Mary volunteered with her local hospice and victim services programs, where she learned the importance of presence, compassion, and listening deeply. Growing up in a farming family shaped her appreciation for hard work, responsibility, and caring for others. Outside of counselling, she enjoys reading, photography, and paddleboarding. Having been both an athlete and a musician, she brings discipline, creativity, and curiosity to her work with clients.
Mary is practising as an intern under the supervision of Mirrell Desjardins (CCC #100001749)
