LCSW-C, 9 years of experience
Hello! I'm a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW.) I received my Master's from the University of Maryland, Baltimore and have been practicing therapy for the last 3 years. I bring a client-centered approach to my work and help young adults struggling with anxiety, life transitions, and identity formation. I am committed to making a positive impact through compassionate, evidence-based practices and look forward to supporting others on their healing journey.
During my first session with clients, I take some time to get to know them, as well as what brings them in. I review confidentiality, as well as talk about what their previous experience in therapy has been like, and what has worked well for them in the past. Additionally, I collaborate with them on what goals they would like to work on in therapy together.
My collective strengths as a provider contribute to my ability to make a meaningful impact on individuals and communities through compassionate and effective mental health care. Some of those strengths include utilizing a client-centered approach, comprehensive clinical experience, effective resource management, and holding a non-judgmental and safe space for clients.
I have a lot of experience working with young adults (18-30s), whom are my niche population and passion. This age range is typically a time of great transition, change, and figuring out their identity. It can be a challenging and confusing time where people could truly benefit from having some extra support from someone who is here to offer a listening ear, guidance, and skills.

She is really great at giving you the space to process and work through your thoughts. While still being there to guide you to a better understanding. So far really good for a newcomer to therapy.

Maura has honestly been life-changing. She empowers & validates me while still keeping it real. When I am not considering something or thinking about it in an honest way, she calls me on it & challenges me to be honest with myself.

Maura has been heaven-sent since the day I started my therapy journey.. I have gone through a roller coaster of emotions and she has managed to make me feel safe to speak and also gives me the space to process my emotions as I speak on them. She is a true gem.
