In Maureen’s view, the therapeutic relationship should be authentic, safe, and supportive of change.

Maureen feels honored to share in her clients’ experiences—offering hope, understanding, and encouragement through challenges and triumphs. She focuses on nurturing individuals’ resilience and strengths, firmly believing in their ability to heal. Together, she aims to challenge conventional views of “normal” labels, expectations, and what defines each individual.
