Maureen is excellent. She listens attently and lets me get everything off my chest. And then moves towards deciphering everything and helping me navigate emotions and anxiety.

She is Incredibly personable and so easy to talk to. Sharing her own experience coupled with her vast knowledge make therapy much more inviting. I am very comfortable being completely open and honest, which isn’t easy with just anyone. I highly recommend her, especially to anyone that is intimidated by, or uncomfortable with the idea of therapy. She is warm, personable, and professional.
