Hello,
I’m Mary
Licensed therapist and coach
Welcome to Exhausted to Energized and Empowered
Burnout is not working too many hours. It's emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion from prolonged stress.
One of the most common struggles among the women I work with is the belief that they should be able to resolve issues of chronic stress or burnout on their own.
We've all been taught to stuff our emotions down and push through and when that fails, we berate ourselves.
The truth is our subconscious beliefs drive 95% of our actions and even though the beliefs come from early life experiences, we are unaware of them.
It's possible that your nervous system is stuck in fight, flight or freeze (the stress response)
You're not broken, you're just human!
It's not uncommon for me to meet with women that have spent years in therapy, tried reading self help books, listened to podcasts, tried to eat right and exercise and still feel stuck.
That's where I come in. As a licensed therapist and certified coach, I blend actionable, somatic, and brain-based coaching with the deeper, lasting changes of therapy. I can help you get unstuck, learn how to calm your nervous system, integrate more joy in to your life, be more productive without burning out, be more present in your relationships, and set boundaries without feeling guilty.
With over 30 years of experience as a licensed therapist, training in EMDR and EFT, and firsthand experience with burnout, these aren't just acronyms; they're powerful tools that I've used to help hundreds of women reclaim their energy, time, and rediscover their self-worth.

I've designed this program to be the experience you've been waiting for. My unique blend of therapeutic and coaching skills allows me to help you uncover subconscious beliefs that hold you back and guide you in making permanent changes in your life.
So, if you're ready to go from exhausted to energized and empowered, you're in the right place. I've walked this path, and I can guide you every step of the way.
When Im not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and my 5 cats. I have three girls, one married and in a doctorate program, one in college, and one in high school. I am also the treasurer for the fundraising board of our daughter's dance team. Dance has played a big part of our lives and is also a great outlet for emotions. I experienced trauma growing up as did my parents. I have a sister who suffers from debilitating mental health issues. So I know personally what it feels like to heal and I'm also a great example that you really can break the cycle!
My family and I have lived in the South for over 20 years and all my girls were born in Virginia. Not only do we live near the beautiful Blue Ridge with a lot to do outdoors, but it's considered the Star City of the South. My husband proposed to me at the Star and it's held a lot of personal meaning in our family ever since. Hence the name of the company!

The star and the mountains are from my hometown in the Blue Ridge mountains of VA. The Star City of the South. The Mill Mountain Star has personal meaning for me, so I was excited to incorporate it into the company's name.
