My Approach

Maya integrates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Interpersonal Therapy to support both insight and practical growth. Her style balances reflection with skill-building, empowering clients to improve quality of life while fostering greater self-sufficiency. 

She believes therapy should feel collaborative, culturally attuned, and grounded — helping clients move through change with steadiness and clarity. She is resourceful, nonjudgemental and emotionally supportive, while offering clinically sound care.

As part of a collaborative group practice, Maya consults with colleagues when appropriate to ensure thoughtful and well-rounded care.
