Are you ready to Thrive in a Frantic World?
Join me in virtual sessions designed to equip you with real-life skills and help you transition from merely surviving to truly thriving. With over 20 years of experience in mental health, therapy, and wellness I listen, guide, and provide game changing skills to help you become your best self.

Can you relate to any of these?
Anxious spirals
Worrying, overthinking, ruminating
Compulsive behaviors
Feeling the need to be perfect
Guilt, self doubt, & self-criticism
Not being able to love yourself
Unsure how to deal with or heal from a toxic relationship
Unable to stop patterns such as control, enabling, rescuing, people pleasing
Not knowing how to handle panic attacks
Feeling controlled by painful memories and past experiences
Fear over germs, getting an illness and/or needing order and control
Avoiding places or situations out of fear
Delayed decisions
Wanting a healthy mind and relationships with good boundaries and communication
I understand the effects of trauma, prolonged anxiety, and toxic relationships. Anxiety can take over and paralyze you. Trauma comes in many forms and can compound over time.
After 20+ years as a therapist, 17+ years as a mom of four, and a sufferer of anxiety and childhood pain myself, I know how hard it is to be healthy, happy and live in peace.
But healing is possible.
My therapy combines personalized care with expert guidance to help you get to the root cause of issues you can’t resolve on your own. I will help you understand why you keep repeating unhealthy patterns, find healing at the root, and finally go beyond the anxiety loop keeping you from being your best self.
My specialty is helping people take their mind and relationships to another level of health. I help people heal and teach essential game-changers developed from my carefully crafted program, “Your Best Self” on how to Iive the “art of peace and calm.”
The core skills I teach will help you understand your wandering anxious mind, replace worry and rumination with the ability to pause, have present-moment focus, gain a new, healthy relationship with your thoughts and feelings, replace draining anxiety patterns with the gifts of curiosity and creativity, and replace self-criticism with self-compassion and confidence.
Being well and living the art of peace and calm will enable you to thrive, not just survive.
I would love to help you in becoming your healthiest best self to live your best life.

Testimonials
“Working with Maureen was a gift. She has tremendous expertise, insight, and a special talent for seeing right to the heart of the matter. She helped me understand myself, my history, my family, and my implicit assumptions about the world. She was both professional and courteous as she challenged me on things I needed to change and cheered me on as I made progress. I highly recommend working with her!”
“I met Maureen at the lowest point of my life. When I saw her picture in her bio, my first impression was, ‘she looks like someone who knows what it means to suffer and come out the other side.’ I was right. I came to her feeling totally out of control of my own thoughts and life, but she wasn’t afraid like I was. And that calmed me. Therapy wasn’t a cure-all but it was most definitely the turning point that changed my trajectory.”
