About me

Hi! I’m Maureen and I love being a Counselor! My style of service is calm and comfortable talk therapy. I believe in mutual respect, being real, showing compassion, and having unconditional positive regard for everyone. I strive to develop a strong and healthy working relationship with my client.

I am a counselor and instructor in the Counseling and Student Development division at a Community College, and I also teach for a University in the Psychology program. I’ve been with both for over 18 years. I previously worked for the Head Start and Early Head Start Programs for almost 25 years. I get to work with so many interesting people from teenagers through older adults on a regular basis!
I have a Master of Arts in Counseling degree and a Master of Science in Human Services degree with a specialization in Social Work and Community Services, and a Post-Graduate Certification in Diversity Studies. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC).

I am proud to be a nerd, as defined by the Urban Dictionary:

Nerd
An individual who:
1. Enjoys learning
2. Does not adhere to social norms

I have three grown offspring, four perfect grandkids and my own little herd of wiener dogs.
I enjoy mass quantities of Disney and superhero movies whenever I’m able to hide away in my Batcave for a little while.

I look forward to meeting you!

Could not find a better fit for myself than her, she’s always got words of encouragement or educational links and tools to help every situation.

Amazing help with my issues and replies very quickly. She is also very understanding and helpful when I have issues arise suddenly. She gives me things to work on and that drives me to try new things she suggests.
