Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.

Hello and welcome! I'm Maia, and I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. Whatever you're going through, you are not alone.
I specialize in helping driven and stuck young adults and millennials who feel like they are "not good enough" or worry about living up to others’ expectations. I am here to help you decrease worry and people-pleasing, and to develop trust in your own thoughts, feelings, and decision-making. In therapy you will learn skills to manage difficult emotions, restore balance and inner peace, set boundaries, and develop real world skills to better your relationship with yourself and with others.
My approach is rooted in empathy, genuineness, humor, and collaboration. In our sessions, you'll find a safe environment where your thoughts, emotions, and experiences are accepted and validated without judgment. I recognize that each journey is unique, and I tailor my approach to your specific needs and goals.
I would be honored to walk alongside you in your journey towards growth, fulfillment, and personal transformation. Don't hesitate to reach out to schedule a free phone consultation to see if you feel we are a good fit!
