For Individuals
My specialty is helping people make the mind/body connection so they can live more conscious integrated lives and experience true intimacy. I have been in private practice for over 17 years. As a body/mind specialist, I have integrated Western Psychology with Eastern Philosophies and spent years teaching mindfulness, meditation and yoga. This blend allows me to treat the whole being which:
-
Reduces anxiety/depression
-
Boosts self-esteem
-
Promotes deeper awareness
-
Positive behavioral changes
-
More satisfying relationships
-
Lessens negative thought patterns
-
Eliminates self-defeating narratives
-
Manages stress, loss and change effectively
The unconscious self-defeating patterns we learned long ago can keep us stuck. I help uncover these habits that keep you anxious and depressed. Through active listening and interactive exercises, my direct approach helps you encounter hidden parts of yourself, enabling you to integrate these into one whole, thriving person with greater capacity to live and to love completely.
For Couples
What we seek in partnership is loving connection. Secure, deep, authentic attunement is the springboard to passion. I help couples re-connect and maintain intimacy by enhancing positive patterns, eliminating the negative and becoming each other's advocate.
Learning the skill and discipline to navigate a conscious romantic relationship can heal much of the past and free us from restricting thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
For 17 years as a Certified Integrative Body Psychotherapist, I have helped hundreds of couples turn their marriages around and achieve lasting romance. Trained by Jack Rosenberg and Beverly Morse (Authors of The Intimate Couple) and the founders of The Institute of Integrative Body Psychotherapy.
Ever-lasting, passionate love does exist. You can reawaken the romantic attraction from when you first met. Many couples do not have the tools required to navigate the difficult terrain of relationships. My specialty is helping you:
-
Handle conflict effectively
-
Reignite passion and desire
-
Heighten levels of intimacy
-
Break negative patterns
-
Communicate successfully
You will gain invaluable insights to strengthen your partnership as you work through difficult issues. I assist you in handling conflict more effectively so you can experience deeper levels of intimacy.
Nothing changes if you don't take action. The journey begins with you.
Our task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
~ Rumi
Here's what people have said after working with me:
This is my third time getting therapy and the first time I'm actually growing thanks to it. From the first couple of sessions I had, it was like Maya could already tell where I was going to be. She's helped me start breaking some of my old patterns that don't serve me anymore, I'm really looking forward to where I can be. I highly recommend her.
