She is a compassionate therapist dedicated to creating a supportive space where individuals can feel seen, heard and understood as they navigate life’s challenges. Maureen works with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions and other challenges that may impact their overall well being. She understands that beginning therapy and working through difficult emotions can feel overwhelming and she strives to meet each client where they are while creating an environment that feels comfortable, collaborative and free of judgment.

Maureen’s approach to therapy is individualized and grounded in evidence based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Maureen works collaboratively with clients to explore thoughts, emotions and patterns that may be affecting their lives, while developing practical coping skills and identifying meaningful steps toward change. Maureen believes that therapy doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. She values curiosity, self-reflection and genuine connection and tailors sessions to each person’s unique experiences, needs and goals. Her goal is to help clients better understand themselves, recognize their strengths and create meaningful and sustainable changes at a pace that feels right for them.

In her free time, Maureen enjoys spending quality time with her family, going for walks, running and reading books. She values finding moments to slow down, recharge and enjoy the simple things in life.
