Hi, I'm Maya.
I became a counselor after eight years in event planning, a job that taught me a lot about deadlines and even more about what stress does to people.
Now I work with adults who are capable, busy and quietly worn down. Many have never been to therapy before. Some have, and want something more practical this time.
“We keep what works and drop what doesn't.”
My approach
Anxiety usually makes sense once you see the pattern behind it. In our first few sessions we map that pattern: what sets it off, what you do next, and what that costs you.
From there we try things. Some come from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts and actions feed each other. Some come from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which helps you act on what matters even when anxiety shows up.
I'll be direct with you, and I'll check that the pace feels right.

What sessions are like
Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly at first and less often as things improve. Most people come for a few months, not years.
You can talk, think out loud, or sit quietly for a minute. You don't need to arrive with a plan.
Ready when you are.
Most people wait longer than they need to before reaching out. A short call is an easy first step.
