Hello and welcome!
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia with over 20 years of experience as a therapist and educator. I’ve worked with individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and parenting issues, multicultural concerns, and addiction. I also support clients healing from trauma and emotional abuse.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe in treating everyone with respect and empathy—without judgment or labels. I draw from several approaches, including cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and family therapy, to create a plan that fits your unique needs and goals.
It takes courage to reach out for support and take steps toward a more fulfilling life. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering guidance, understanding, and practical tools for growth and healing.
I look forward to working with you!

Maxine truly knows what she’s doing. She’s a great therapist who listens, understands, and supports me in a way that feels genuine. She’s patient and willing to help me heal, and I appreciate how she guides me through my journey with care and clarity. I already feel like I’m growing because of her support.

Maxine is the absolute best!!! Every session is like a breath of fresh air for the soul. I feel a release following each of our sessions. She has taught me so many ways to maintain healthy relationships, truly fill my cup and work on me as a priority, and deal with and manage stress the right way. The techniques she has passed along have provided real results, I am seeing true progress every day. THANK YOU MAXINE!!!
