About me

Hello! I am so happy you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina and Licensed Independent Social Worker in South Carolina with five years of experience in the mental health field. If you are struggling with chronic stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, attachment issues, and trauma, I am here to help you in your healing journey.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In your first session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you’ll be encouraged to share your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. We’ll start by discussing your reasons for seeking therapy and any specific challenges you’re facing. Together, we’ll explore your goals and establish a foundation for our work together. The focus is on understanding where you are right now and beginning to build trust, so you feel comfortable and supported as we move forward on your journey.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my deep compassion and non-judgmental approach. I genuinely believe that every person deserves to be heard and understood without fear of criticism. My person-centered approach allows me to meet each client where they are, creating a safe space for exploration and growth. I also bring a high level of empathy to every session, working to truly understand your experiences and emotions, so we can collaborate in a way that feels supportive and empowering for you.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, helping them navigate the challenges life throws their way. My clients often come to me seeking support with issues like stress, relationship struggles, trauma, low self-esteem, or emotional distress. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma but I believe that everyone, no matter the challenge, deserves a space to be heard and supported.

I was skeptical of this style of therapy, but during the first 5 minutes of my initial session with Maura, I felt so comfortable. I feel after just a month of sessions that she is the right person for me; when we talk she challenges me to look at my thoughts from other perspectives, but also validates my feelings and tries to get to the root of things I'm experiencing. It's like I am talking to one of my girlfriends. I never feel judged and know that I can speak freely always.
