About Mara

 

My journey to becoming a therapist looks a little different than most. My undergraduate degree is in nursing, and I spent years working as a Registered Nurse across various specialties. My time in the healthcare field gave me insight into how deeply our connections with others impact our physical and mental health. 

​

Life recently brought me to Montgomery, Alabama, for my husband’s military service. Being a military spouse has given me a very personal look at the unique rhythm of military life, and I am committed to supporting military families through the specific challenges it can place on a relationship.

​

I think therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation, not just a clinical checklist. I want to create a space where you feel safe enough to be real about your story. Every worldview is different, and I enjoy the journey of figuring out what growth looks like for you.

 

Currently, I am a graduate student at Capella University, practicing at Hope Grows under experienced clinical supervision. I'm honored to be a part of your walk forward. 

 

On a personal note, I’m a firm believer in the restorative power of a quiet Sunday and a good cup of coffee. These small moments of peace help me show up fully for the people I care about, including my clients.

​

I am currently accepting new clients.
