You can’t give to others, what you don’t have.

Have you come to a place where you’re ready to change the mindset and negative thought patterns you’ve been living out? Are you looking to set boundaries you haven’t been able to establish in your relationships? Are you longing to draw closer to God in this season of life?

Change can be scary and overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone.

Imagine if you could…

Go through your day and not have your inner critic boss you around.

  • take your thoughts captive
  • set boundaries
  • knowing your identity in Christ

Affordable counseling or coaching– The cost for a session is only $65 a session whether you choose coaching or counseling.

As a helpful frame of reference, your typical coaching or counseling session usually starts around $95-$150 or more, but my fee is $65 because my mission is to make mental health support affordable and accessible. I also offer a discounted fee for missionary families or those who are struggling financially.

Or you can now give the gift of “flourishing” to a loved one with our gift cards. Simply reach out to me to give the gift of self-care.

You don’t have to do it alone!
Sometimes we know what to do to move forward but we need support to carry the weight of our burden and a professional to help us process our circumstances.

About Me!

I’m a writer, speaker, biblical counselor, certified Life Coach and Bible teacher. I’ve been in ministry for more than 20 years sharing God’s truth and hope by mentoring, biblical counseling, teaching, leading workshops, and speaking at conferences and retreats for women from all over the world and in the U.S. I have an MA in Christian Education with a focus in Counseling from Columbia International University. I’m a Certified Life Coach through the American Association of Christian Counselors and Life Breakthrough. I am a Biblical Counselor with a Mental Health and trauma informed focus. I recently completed my program in Psychology of Leadership program from Cornell University.

I understand what it’s like to feel overwhelmed and disconnected but I have also tasted and seen the goodness of God and the peace that comes from walking in freedom.

Coaching VS Counseling

I am happy to help you with either coaching or counseling. If you aren’t sure what to choose when we have our first session we’ll go over the best fit for you. Coaching is different from counseling! Coaching is the process of coming alongside someone and helping them identify where they are, where God wants them to be, and the obstacles that are getting in the way. Often in counseling, you move back to dig up the past to figure out why you’re where you’re at but with coaching you are starting with the present to move towards your goal as an active participant.

Coaches desire to meet you where you’re at and encourage, challenge, listen, ask insightful questions, and hold you accountable to the goals you’ve set. With coaching, you are aware of the past and we may dive into it but the focus is on the present as you move toward the future. We enable the client to reach their goals by looking at barriers, and unlocking their potential to maximize their performance.

What others are saying!

“I have really appreciated my sessions with Mari! It was easy to be comfortable with her right away. The check-ins and accountability texts sent between sessions were very encouraging and spoke volumes to me of her genuine care. There have been several things /struggles that I have wanted and tried to address for a long time. Working through them as Mari broke them down into manageable pieces allowed for progress and success in several areas. Praise the Lord!!”

Naomi E.

You are a natural at this! Your experience shines through and you definitely have a gift to give clients.”

Elisa Pulliam, founder of More to Be and Coach Instructor

My time with Mari was short but definitely not limited. Mari took the time to listen to and guide me; sharing her kindness and wisdom. I could not be more pleased with my time and experience with Mari.

S.R

I am so impressed with all the work Mari puts into our sessions. Our conversations have helped me so much with my critical thoughts and prayer life. I’m not having as many negative thoughts since our time together. It’s been freeing!
