“Only consciousness of our narrow confinement in the self forms the link to the limitlessness of the unconscious. In such awareness we experience ourselves concurrently as limited and eternal, as both the one and the other. In knowing ourselves to be unique in our personal combination - that is, ultimately limited - we possess also the capacity for becoming conscious of the infinite.”
- C.G. Jung
I invite you on a journey of inquiry, discovery, and growth, to support your well-being and your relationships.
Are you feeling stuck due to past trauma? Have you been feeling alone in your grief? Are you worried that your relationships are suffering due to your mental health? I'm here to help you through this.
I provide a calm and compassionate presence as I support you in processing painful emotional experiences, developing more satisfying relationships, and living with a sense of wholeness. I work with clients who want to engage intentionally in self reflection, who are looking for depth in psychotherapy, and who may benefit from somatic tools. My approach guides clients toward living with more ease and mindfulness in daily life.
Therapy offers a way to connect to vibrancy in life. Together, we will move between revisiting the past, focusing on the present, and visioning into the future. Please feel welcome to send me an email at therapywithmaura@gmail.com to set up a complimentary consultation and discuss working together.

Therapy sessions will offer a way to explore and resolve unconscious patterns, through developing awareness of the influence of formative relationships, processing unresolved emotional issues, tending to the mind-body connection, and developing skills to support you in being more present.
I work with clients who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression, grieving the loss of a loved one, feeling stuck due to trauma, having difficulty with familial and/or intimate relationships, and are moving through transitions connected to career and stage of life.
My clients are often creative, sensitive, and curious about their internal experiences. I use a trauma-informed lens, and m
y style is warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental. I am an LGBTQIA affirmative therapist. I provide psychological care that is aligned with supporting racial justice and addressing the impact of systemic oppression on psychological wellbeing.
