Have major parts of you been overshadowed by the stress of just trying to survive and get by? Have the expectations and demands from others to be a certain way left no room for self-discovery, acceptance and expansion? Painful past experiences, childhood trauma, and oppressive environments have taught many of us to silence our needs, prioritize others, not trust ourselves, and bury our true feelings. You are on the path to the next phase in your journey, and you don't have to navigate it alone. I know that even in light of the inner drive to reclaim authenticity, experiences from our past can linger and get in the way.

I see the fact that you are here looking for a therapist as immensely brave. I honor your courage. I genuinely love people. My personal experiences with childhood trauma, family relationships, religion, and the sciences have granted me opportunities to empathize with and understand a diverse range of emotional, mental, and relational issues and to apply effective treatment methods for my clients. I am aware that my privilege and life opportunities require me to be intentional about providing a safe space for my clients, especially those who have experienced marginalization and societal oppression and I consistently strive to do so.

I like people and enjoy getting to know and understand them. There are many ways we can get stuck or get weighed down in life issues. It is exciting for me to assist others in finding ways to get on with living. I believe this occurs when a client feels comfortable in the relationship with their therapist. As a therapist, my first task is to provide a safe environment for a person to experience themselves in new ways.

These can be intense and scary challenges to deal with, but you don’t have to navigate these heavier parts of life alone.

Having worked in inpatient, community crisis MH, and for the state, I can resonate with other service providers. Its an honor for me to work with people who want to see a different outlook on life and engage in meaningful conversations that will help individuals work towards becoming their authentic selves and living outside of the mold pressured and formed by society.

Informed by liberating-direct-action with workers, survivors of mental health incarceration, and skilled professionals, I value lived-experience just as much as highfalutin philosophy. I believe in the universal human drive to transform + heal through caring community connections, self-awareness, access to dreams by way of meeting basic needs, and the responsibility to recover personal and collective strengths. Healing of the self is healing of communities, and ultimately our interrelated societies. In place of paternalism, I offer avenues for developing your self-trust.

I provide a space for people to be with all aspects of who they are "“ mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I believe we are all experts on our own lives and have within us the knowing of what is best for us. There are times when we feel disconnected from that knowing and can benefit from support in reconnecting with it. I offer space to enter into a deeper exploration of one's life. I support others in accessing their inner process in order to be with all of the parts of one's personality and all the information and wisdom held there.

Life events sometimes throw us curve balls when we least expect it. Do you now or often experience anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, divorce, or even post-pandemic returning to work concerns? These are stressors that give us feelings of uncertainty and hopelessness, impacting the ability to function in relationships, occupation, social life, and obtaining educational goals. Does it seem as though you’ve been knocked down once too many times and getting up is a struggle? When in the middle of a struggle words such as “tomorrow” and “feeling better” seem so far away.

Hi there, I’m Maggie. If you are looking for a nurturing therapist who is genuine, wants the best for your unique life, and will challenge you towards deeper healing, we could be a good fit. I would love to support you as you begin to embrace your intersecting and unfolding identities. My specialties as a therapist include body liberation (Health At Every Size), life transitions, and exploration of self through a relational lens. My approach is centered within an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and liberatory lens. I am a queer and neurodivergent therapist, and I enjoy supporting folks with these shared identities.

More therapists should be transparent with their outcomes because you deserve to know exactly what quality of service you'll be receiving. I provide an in-depth look at my success rate on my site. I'm a psychologist that provides therapy, but I also specialize in testing for clinical diagnoses, adult ADHD, pre-surgery bariatric assessment, parental pre adoption evaluations, psychological hardship for immigration matters involving I-601 waivers, and asylum application evaluations for the I-589. I'm available on Saturdays and in the weekday evenings.

As a therapist, I believe we all deserve the space to heal, grow, and awaken to our authentic selves. It can be challenging in our culture and society to listen to our own inner-knowings. Even more challenging if we struggle with anxiety, ADHD, trauma, life transitions, and issues with self-esteem. You are not broken; you are learning and healing in a broken world. That's why I believe in helping clients access their inherent strength and wisdom. Through somatic and experiential therapies that draw on nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and self-compassion, I help my folks meet reality with more resilience and self-trust.
