About Mary:

With over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health, Mary brings us a wealth of insight from her clinical roles. Currently she serves as the Director of Clinical Services at a 900+ bed health system in Raleigh, processing 15,000 patients a year moving through the WakeMed Health & Hospital system.

When Mary isn’t integrating her therapeutic background into administrative practice you can find her exploring the new journey of being an empty nester. Life has become quieter, but hasn’t slowed down, as Mary and her husband Bryan enjoy leaning into new hobbies as well as spending time with their one-year-old granddaughter.
