About Maureen
She has ten years of clinical experience and moved to California from the Washington, DC area after practicing in mental health and depression work. Over time she shifted toward supporting people as they navigate endings and changes. Maureen also holds a specialty credential in Hospice and Palliative care, which guides her work with serious illness and end-of-life concerns.
Her style is practical and person-centered. Sessions focus on clarifying what matters to the client, building small coping strategies, and practicing mindful ways to tolerate difficult feelings. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-informed approaches, and client-centered care to shape each plan.
Maureen helps people manage relationship strain, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and issues around intimacy and communication. She also supports those coping with chronic pain, cancer, hoarding, and isolation. Clients often work toward clearer priorities, steadier routines, and improved sleep and self-esteem.
To begin, she invites people to describe what’s most important right now and what they hope to change. Sessions move at a person’s pace, with straightforward tools to use between meetings. Maureen aims to walk alongside people as they rebuild a sense of balance and purpose.
