Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Maureen, a board-certified psychiatric and family nurse practitioner with over 14 years of experience in healthcare. I support adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. My background allows me to look at both mental and physical health, so I take a whole-person approach to care. I’m passionate about helping clients feel heard, supported, and confident in their path forward.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, holistic, and empowering. I work collaboratively with clients to understand what’s going on beneath the surface and to build practical tools for change. I focus on both emotional wellbeing and lifestyle factors like stress, sleep, and self-care. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, resilient, and in control of their mental health.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a calm, supportive space where you can share what’s been weighing on you at your own pace. We’ll talk about your goals, what you’ve been struggling with, and what you’d like to feel different in your life. Together, we’ll begin to create a plan that feels realistic and aligned with you. Most clients leave feeling clearer, lighter, and more hopeful.”
