Currently in private practice, her former positions include an assistant professorship at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, and director of the psychology department’s community clinic. As an adoptive parent with graduate training in child development, child therapy, and family therapy, she often wears two hats in understanding the social, emotional, and cognitive developmental process in adoption. Mary has traveled to China six times ever since 1995. Every time she returns to China she learns a bit more about Chinese culture and history and about adoption. Mary joined RTTS in 2008 hoping to bring a parent/psychologist perspective on topics that are close to her heart. She looks forward to working collaboratively with parents, children, and the staff at RTTS.
