Aubrey utilizes a holistic view while embracing each persons unique experiences and individuality. Many of us feel overwhelmed, stuck, stressed, anxious, worried, angry, hopeless, or sad at times. Sometimes we struggle with changes like moving, having a baby, starting school, starting a new job, or losing a loved one (pets included). Some of us have had distressing experiences or something traumatic happen. Or perhaps we are having difficulty in a relationship with family, friends, dating, partner, or spouse. Aubrey works with you to find the most effective techniques and skills to support in facing challenges and finding relief.

I specialize in working with children, teens, adults, and families. I have extensive training in psychological assessment of neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as general mental health challenges.

I incorporate strategies from cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, emotional-focused, and interpersonal therapies to help client’s reach their best potential. In family therapy, I utilize Emotionally Focused Family Therapy to help families better understand each others’ attachment needs.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist (Level 3), who cares deeply about helping people heal, become their best selves, achieve their goals and improve their relationships. I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space, where you will feel heard, seen and accepted. As your therapist, I will collaborate with you in the work that we do together.

I am passionate about coming alongside others in a compassionate and collaborative way. I work from an attachment-based, trauma informed, mindfulness framework. I have training in EFT, a therapeutic modality that helps couples create safe and secure connection. I also utilize nervous system regulation and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I believe that it takes strength and courage to share our stories, and that transformation happens when we are seen and heard from a compassionate place. I consider it an honor to walk alongside others on that journey and provide that space where healing can occur.

The decision to seek therapy can feel difficult and intimidating. Many hesitate to reach out for fear of judgment and shame.

I love rooting for people and all people in all bodies are welcome here.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I understand the importance of creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you to find your best self. I specialize in treating issues in marital connection and intimacy, affair recovery, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss. After completing my master's work, I gained extensive training in psychodynamic therapy, which addresses family of origin issues, wounding messages from childhood, and attachment styles expressed in relationships.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I provide a safe space from the initial contact so you feel comfortable to work on your goals. I want to make this process as comfortable as possible so clients can reach their goals quickly. My approach is collaborative with all clients and all presenting concerns. I believe that each client has their own unique story and I want to validate this story and healing. I work with clients ages 13 years old and up, focusing on individual and relationship issues. My email is minongmaier@gmail.com.

I believe that aspects unique to each family system (i.e., attachment, multigenerational processes, cultural/spiritual beliefs) are some of the key indicators of an individual’s personal life experience and the development of their identity. All of these things contribute to the way that we interact and connect with others, which makes relationships complex, and sometimes difficult to navigate. My areas of focus include perinatal mental health related issues, attachment injury repair, and navigating phase of life transitions.

I believe we all have the capacity to learn, grow, heal and create long-lasting change. We hold the innate ability to discover and realize our true potential and live an authentic life in line with our deepest values. I view therapy as a shared, supportive, compassionate journey that can help you tune into your authentic self, develop attainable goals and work toward sustainable, meaningful change. By holistically addressing and integrating mind, body and spirit, all kinds of challenges-depression, anxiety, divorce, stress, relationship issues, grief-can be better understood and overcome.

Does anxiety get in the way of your performance sexually, or otherwise? Have past experiences left you feeling guarded, fearful or confused? Is being vulnerable difficult for you? Unresolved grief or trauma can make us feel stuck, misunderstood, and unable to move forward. It can leave us feeling depressed, and anxious. Perhaps you desire enhanced connection with others but this has been elusive to you and you feel physically or emotionally blocked in some way. You want to reach your full potential in all areas of your life and you just need some support to unlock it.

My work with clients is centered in resolving what is missing, or has been left unmet, for whatever reason. Unmet relational and emotional needs can interfere with a loving relationship with oneself, and with those we care about. Both EFT and EMDR provide wonderful tools for this work of emotional and relational repair. Your story matters to me, and so does the pace that feels best for you. Together we will explore and repair what has been missing so you can enjoy your relationships more deeply. Whether you are new to therapy or coming back to it for a deeper layer of work, I would love to meet you and hear your story.

As a Therapist in long term recovery from both substance and process addictions, I've received support from some very special humans who've lit the way for me to peer into the areas of my path that were either blind spots or I just couldn't see from an objective perspective (yet). After a career in corporate development, I'm grateful to have transitioned to providing the work that's helped me come to terms with life and my place in it; work that feeds my soul and shines the light on those dark places so many of us are challenged to venture into alone. Together, we can explore and make meaning of what's happened to you.
