Hello, I'm Maya. Do you ever feel that life seems to have a tight grip on you and you don't know how to break free? Like, no matter what you seem to do, it feels as if things will never change? Does seem as if trying to balance all of your different roles can be overwhelming? Well, if your answer was yes to any of these questions, this is where I come in to play! I am here to help you create and design a safe space to express and share your emotions and feelings. To figure out ways to navigate through the ebb and flow of life. We will use a holistic approach, addressing your body, mind and spirit. I am able to integrate mindfulness and art to assist you in having a stronger relationship with yourself. This is your journey and we move at your pace. I am here to help guide you through those overwhelming feelings, relationship issues, anxiety and depression, so that you know you are not alone. The thought of therapy can be scary, but you took the first step and made the right decision. You deserve to heal and grow! I will meet you where you're at and provide empathy along with evidence-based techniques to assist you with overcoming the challenges of life. Come on in and take a seat!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I hope that once you meet in the first session, you will be able to see that I am someone who is compassionate about helping you to reach your goals. That I will listen and allow you to share your story with no judgments. We will work as a team to collaborate on treatment and the outcomes you would like to achieve. Once again this is not a race but a marathon.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Some of the treatment methods that I use are Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Integrative therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Multicultural.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe in tailoring the experience for each individual by active listening and allowing you to ask questions when guiding you towards your answers. So if we are discussing trauma, I want to know the background and how it is currently affecting you in the here and now. How do we address those issues and the impact it is having on current relationships. Challenging those anxious and depressive thoughts in regards to how you see yourself as well as society. Exploring why certain relationships may have such a tight grip on your life and the connection to other relationships. How that loss of a job, loved one or relationship continues to impede you from healing. These are the areas that I love to work with to assist you in your growth.
