Hi there, I'm Maggie!

I provide psychodynamic psychotherapy for individuals. I help my clients understand their feelings so that they can learn to live more comfortably with the various challenges of life. Exploring earlier relationships and life experiences helps in understanding and managing feelings.

My focus

I work with adults who often struggle with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, grief, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, marriage, relationship, and work stressors.

My approach

I help my clients understand their feelings so that they can learn to live more comfortably with the various challenges of life. Exploring earlier relationships and life experiences helps in understanding and managing difficult feelings. With listening, empathy, and direct communication, I strive to help clients make the changes they long for.

My communication style

I am a personable and compassionate therapist. I am engaging in a session. Though listening is my greatest tool, I engage in conversation by asking questions and responding to material that is brought up in session.

My journey to mental healthcare

My clinical training was in inpatient psychiatric treatment settings as well as an outpatient community counseling center. I care very deeply about the therapeutic process and the power it has to change lives.

My goals for you

The success of therapy is all about the relationships I build with my clients. With respect, listening, empathy, and honesty, I help individuals feel better over time and make changes in their lives.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll begin building a therapeutic relationship through conversation. I'll listen carefully to understand what brings you to therapy and what changes you're hoping for. We'll explore your feelings and experiences together in a respectful, empathetic space.
