About me

Hello, congratulations on taking an important first step towards a healthier you. I would love to help you with your next steps in that journey. Let's get to work on eliminating the thoughts that are holding you back. I have helped hundreds of people navigate through severe depression and crippling anxiety. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, but will tailor my approach to meet your needs. I use lots of strange analogies, but they seem to help trigger new insights for people and help them to change unhelpful perspectives that they may have been holding on to for years. You will be afforded empathy and respect while we do this work. Be prepared to be challenged, but with some laughs along the way too.

Deborah Maqueira is amazing! I’ve never done therapy before as I was always nervous about it but she has made this experience so easy for me and it has helped me tremendously! I would totally recommend her to anyone else!
