“Come, return to the root, of the root of your Self.”
- Jalaluddin Rumi
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 will benefit from somatic and mindfulness focused support. My approach guides clients toward living with more ease and joy in daily life.
Therapy offers a way to connect to vibrancy. 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 struggling to recover from traumatic experiences, suffering from symptoms of anxiety and depression, grieving the loss of a loved one, worrying about strained intimate relationships, and looking for support navigating career and developmental transitions.
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 and feminist therapist. I provide psychological care that is aligned with supporting racial justice and addressing the impact of systemic oppression on psychological wellbeing.
