I have over 10 years of experience working as a clinician in a variety of settings, including inpatient and outpatient. I am adept at working with patients affected by addiction, life transitions, complex trauma, as well as depression and anxiety. I have also helped many people who have experienced medical trauma, as well as life-changing illness and injury. I graduated from UCLA with my Masters in Social Welfare and obtained my License of Clinical Social Work in 2017.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session we will focus on what has inspired you to take action and get into therapy as well as what you want your focus and goals to be. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I had a great first session. I felt like I was really heard. I feel like Maura has a similar communication style to me so I am very excited to move forward with our sessions.
