Share, reflect and explore

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed or isolated?
You don't have to navigate it alone.
I offer a safe, supportive space to explore life's challenges for all individuals with a focus on the creative community, neurodivergence and women's issues.
I believe an authentic therapeutic relationship is founded on curiosity, collaboration and empathy.
MY APPROACH
As your therapist, we will start by creating a safe, quiet space built on trust and non-judgement. When you are ready, it is a space where you can slow down and reflect and we can begin exploring your personal story together.
My psychodynamic approach explores how early attachment and family of origin influence your current relationships and patterns. I believe within this strong therapeutic relationship, healing begins. My style is warm, interactive and down-to-earth. I value humor and honesty and look forward to connecting with you.
Having spent much of my life in the creative arts, I welcome working with performers, artists and entertainment industry professionals. I am also deeply drawn to supporting individuals navigating major life transitions. I am and always have been a committed ally to the LGBTQIA+ community.
ABOUT MAUREEN
I came to clinical practice with a rich background in the arts, having spent over a decade studying and working as an actor and comedian in New York City. Performance and storytelling has taught me how to listen with deep presence, stay curious and connect with people from all walks of life. I hold an MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Oaks College and a BA in English from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
Along with my clinical training and artistic background, my life as a wife and mother for over 20 years shapes how I sit in the room with my clients. I bring natural warmth, patience and openness to my practice, and with empathy, curiosity and collaboration, we can strengthen our therapeutic connection.
I view therapy as a collaborative journey. If you are feeling stuck or isolated, I am here to join you in that exploration.
