Her training includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Nebraska at Omaha (2002). She has worked across settings from psychiatric inpatient units to outpatient counseling, crisis centers, group homes, child welfare, and juvenile services. That range has shaped a practical, problem-focused style she adapts to each situation.
Mary Jo uses a trauma-informed lens and describes her approach as eclectic and client-driven. She draws on attachment-based ideas along with cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness, and client-centered ways of working.

She has substantial experience supporting people affected by abuse, neglect, and the child welfare system. She also has experience with military veterans and can discuss practical steps for clients working with the VA system.
Mary Jo favors gradual steps when someone is anxious about starting therapy. She is accustomed to people beginning with short check-ins and moving toward longer conversations as they gain confidence. Her practice emphasizes adapting the plan over time to match changing needs.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online care
Mary Jo often uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and can be useful for parenting and adult relationship concerns.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood swings. Mindfulness techniques are included to teach simple grounding and stress-management practices that people can use throughout the day.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mary Jo will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they shape a plan and adjust it over time based on progress and life changes.
