My Approach to Helping
Hi, I'm Maureen, and I love being a therapist! My 20+ years of experience have taught me volumes about mental health and how to help people not just survive but thrive. It has also given me so much more empathy and compassion for others' pain and struggles. A top priority of mine is creating a safe and non-judgmental experience for my clients to explore and better understand different parts of themselves. I have extensive experience diagnosing and helping people with anxiety, panic, obsessive compulsion (OCD), and trauma.
I have received intensive training in therapies for anxiety, including exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD. Common symptoms clients experience include worry, intrusive thoughts, rumination, self-doubt, self-criticism, compulsive behaviors, difficulty concentrating, sleep issues, flashbacks, and panic attacks.
The treatment approaches I use have all been shown through research to be maximally impactful. However, we collaborate together to design an approach to specifically address your needs. I have been in your shoes, having gotten treatment for anxiety myself. Now, I’m here to meet you wherever you are, while providing compassionate support one session at a time.
