She is Incredibly personable and so easy to talk to. Sharing her own experience coupled with her vast knowledge make therapy much more inviting. I am very comfortable being completely open and honest, which isn’t easy with just anyone. I highly recommend her, especially to anyone that is intimidated by, or uncomfortable with the idea of therapy. She is warm, personable, and professional.

Maureen is phenomenal. She is a conversationalist. Conversations are supposed to have give and take. She’s an advent listener and very relatable. I never feel judged or unheard when discussing life. I struggle with anxiety and work/life balance. Shes helped me slow down and realize that most of my comments are common and how to handle them. She’s given resources after every session: book recommendation and grounding techniques for anxiety. 10/10 recommend Maureen!!

Maureen is amazing! She listens with zero judgement, offers guidance and is very caring. She helps me relate and deal with the issues I’m having and always makes me feel comfortable. I’m only three sessions in and I’m already getting tools I can use to better my situations. Thankyou Maureen
