Meet Mary
Associate Professional Clinical Trauma & Addiction Psychotherapist
Member of the Botaitis Therapy Group
Under clinical supervision of Nicole Botaitis, LMFT, LPCC
As a clinician and fellow human, I’ve journeyed through darkness and emerged with light to share. My experience with trauma and addiction has forged invaluable wisdom. I embrace my recovery with gratitude. Owning my story empowers you to embrace yours. This lived experience, paired with degrees in clinical psychology and human development across the lifespan (specializing in addiction and recovery, with a passion for the neurobiology of trauma, stress, communication, and behavior) shapes my work with unique insight. Beyond clinical understanding, I offer the heart of someone who rebuilt their life from scattered pieces, knowing both challenge and renewal. I dedicate myself to being present with you, without judgment, as you navigate behavioral challenges, process difficult experiences, or break free from patterns that no longer serve you. My commitment is to support your transformation. This purpose forms the backbone of Solid Ground TCA.
Using evidence-based approaches for adults, families, teens, couples, and those in diverse relationships who are navigating life’s challenges.

As a veteran's spouse, I understand the unique challenges veterans and first responders face and the silent burdens you carry. My deep respect for your sacrifice fuels my commitment to supporting your mental and physical resilience. I recognize the strength it takes to navigate a world that often overlooks the toll of your service. Through practical, evidence-based tools, I’ll stand by you to process challenges, build clarity, and foster resilience. My 90-minute weekly sessions, at standard hourly rates, create room to address the complexities of military, responder, and civilian life with tailored guidance.
