Hi there, I'm Maurice!

I help clients thrive using DBT and CBT approaches. I specialize in supporting minorities, men, couples, and families, providing a compassionate and tailored therapeutic experience. With genuine care, I guide clients toward healing and personal growth.

My focus

I primarily work with men, couples, and families, focusing on fostering meaningful connections and personal growth. My practice addresses trauma, generational trauma, relationship issues, and overall self-improvement. By combining empathy with proven therapeutic methods, I support clients on their journey to healing and self-discovery.

My approach

My therapeutic approach blends Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. I incorporate techniques from various modalities to offer a comprehensive and tailored experience for each client.

My communication style

My communication style is deeply empathetic, ensuring that each individual feels heard and understood. I validate your experiences, acknowledging your emotions and perspectives with genuine care. My approach fosters a safe and supportive environment, encouraging open dialogue and trust.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because of my deep passion for helping others achieve meaningful change in their lives. My experiences gave me a unique perspective on resilience and the challenges people face. Now, I am committed to guiding my clients toward healing and personal growth through therapy.

My goals for you

When setting goals with clients, I ensure they are driven by your therapeutic needs. We focus on creating goals that lead to exponential growth, fostering a personalized and meaningful path to progress. This collaborative approach fosters a sense of ownership and motivation in achieving these objectives.

Our first session

My goal in our first session is to gain a comprehensive understanding of your concerns. We'll explore the dynamics of your relationships, delve into your personal values and morals, and get to know you better as an individual. This holistic approach helps me tailor our sessions to best support your journey.
