Hi there, I'm Maxine!
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Southern CA, helping clients process difficult emotions affecting their daily lives and relationships. I work with diverse clients, including first-/second-generation AAPI, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC. I often help with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, and relational/generational trauma.
My focus
Most clients I work with have felt criticized, shamed, or have unfinished business in their relationships. These core themes are often related to being challenged with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, and self-esteem. My services are well-suited for adults and couples who are part of minority populations and are motivated toward change.
My approach
With a core approach of using emotional attunement, I aim to meet you where you are, then integrate different interventions from Emotion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Bowen Multigenerational Family Systems, Structural Family Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and/or Gottman Method.
