See Mae's Details for:
Through her integrative, strength-based approach, Mae empowers each client to become the best possible versions of themselves. She also draws from a psychodynamic foundation to identify clients' relational and emotional patterns.
During major life transitions—even exciting ones like getting married, starting a new job, or moving to a new city—many people experience difficult emotions they feel like they can’t express. Therapy with Mae is the process of undoing isolation and aloneness. Her ultimate goal is for clients to feel supported as they enter new life stages.
Mindfulness and self compassion are key components of Mae’s approach. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reframe clients’ beliefs, thoughts, and feelings from a more positive perspective, and sometimes pulls in Internal Family Systems to look at all the different parts that make up the self. As a result, Mae gives clients tools to question their inner critic, and reach a place of compassionate self awareness.
