Maya creates a warm, structured, and accepting space where clients feel heard, validated, and supported.

Her self-awareness and sensitivity allow her to meet each person with respect and care, empowering them to reconnect with their own strengths and resilience.

Maya draws from an eclectic range of therapeutic modalities, including mindfulness and Buddhist principles, tailoring her approach to the unique needs of each client. Whether offering support after trauma, grief, illness, or life transitions, she guides clients in creating greater ease and clarity in their lives. Maya brings the ability to help adult clients build confidence in their own voice, supporting the development of communication and leadership skills in both personal and professional settings. In addition to her clinical training, Maya brings over 20 years of experience working with children and families, including supporting them with changes to family structure, significant illness, death of a family member, difficulties at school, moving, or social concerns.
