About Me
Hi, I’m Maya—a licensed mental health counselor dedicated to helping you find clarity, confidence, and emotional balance. My approach is collaborative, affirming, and rooted in evidence-based techniques like CBT, DBT, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Whether you're navigating anxiety, racial trauma, PTSD, identity struggles, or major life transitions, I’ll support you in reframing disruptive thoughts, setting boundaries, and fostering self-compassion.
I provide support for those struggling with social anxiety, PTSD, and the lasting effects of sexual or physical abuse. Therapy with me isn’t just about symptom management—it’s about building resilience, empowerment, and a deeper connection to yourself.
I specialize in working with professionals facing burnout, BIPOC communities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and Black women.
Next Steps, Together
When I’m not in session, you can find me exploring Florida’s beaches, wandering through museums, or hunting for vintage gems. My cat, Gambino, is my ever-present sidekick, offering moral support (and occasional judgment).
I also advocate for mental health on social media, making wellness conversations accessible and real. Wherever you are in your journey, I’d love to support you in moving toward healing and wholeness.
