About Maxine

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor with five years of experience supporting people through life's challenges. I've worked with clients ages five and up in private practice, schools, and online settings. I help people navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, low self-esteem, adjustment disorder, ADHD, grief, and loss.

My approach is personalized and integrates a range of evidence-based modalities—including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, narrative therapy, attachment theory, existential therapy, gestalt therapy, and motivational interviewing. I also offer strengths-based Christian counseling.

Reaching out for support takes courage, and I'm here to walk alongside you. Together, we'll create a safe, welcoming space where you can explore your challenges, build on your strengths, and move toward the life you want.

"As one who has experienced traumatic life events, I have an authentic understanding of how we are impacted by painful circumstances and how developing new skills can help us regain a sense of empowerment. "
