ABOUT MARY

It seems to me I have been a therapist all my life. Maybe it is just who I am, or part of who I was supposed to become.

I have been legally blind since birth; so sensing the unseen and listening are skills I developed early.

As a child, I was very interested in people, in really knowing them ... their thoughts and feelings and why they behaved in the ways they did. I often found adults confusing and contradictory. Of course, now I know they were often unsure and conflicted … as much a mystery to themselves as to me.

So for me psychology was my path, the way I chose to be in the world … to fathom the internal workings of others and myself and then to understand the connectedness between all of us.

From the time I was sixteen I voraciously read and studied Psychology and Sociology and graduated with a degree in both. Sociology completed Psychology because it went further in explaining the interaction of the individual within the group. I also became politically active and discovered Astrology, a lifelong love. After working in Health Care, home visiting a wide diversity of folks for several years, I returned to school and earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work.

The last piece of the personal/professional puzzle fell into place through my embrace of meditation and the clarification and integration of my deeply-held spiritual beliefs.

Professionally, I have trained extensively in Grant Writing, Policy and Organizational Development, Group Work, Family therapy, Core Energetics (which is body-centered Psychotherapy, Addictions Treatment, Hypnotherapy and Astrology.

I have worked in and run programs that served and provided advocacy for the homeless population, people with AIDS, children at risk, adolescents, the elderly and people who are terminally ill. I have assisted in research and have been published.

I founded Limitless Horizons in 1993 so I could have more freedom to personalize my work with clients; to integrate my training, skill and substantial life experience.

To my work I bring an open heart, deep intuition, a laugh that comes easily and a willingness to learn and change and a strong commitment to help others know themselves and speak their truths.

I believe we are all in this together, all works in progress … becoming more and more conscious beings and that life, no matter how challenging is meant to be joyous and fulfilling.
