ABOUT MAGGIE

I’m so glad you found your way here.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with my Master’s degree in Social Work. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults. I believe that every person has the natural desire to grow, and that is what therapy with me is all about: personal growth.

My treatment approach is collaborative, by working together, we can develop healthy coping skills, strengthen yours/your child’s social and emotional health, and empower him/her to understand and manage their emotions, behaviors, and social interpersonal relationships. I work from a strengths-based model to help you identify and work through the challenges you are facing, gaining insight into barriers, and finding solutions to improve the quality of your own health and relationships.

I work with clients who have experienced anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, identity issues, life transitions, parental separation, ADHD, OCD, & peer conflict. I strive to create a warm, accepting and safe environment for all of my clients.

When I’m not at the office I enjoy taking my 100lb bernedoodle, Louie, for a walk with my better half. I also love reading on the couch at home, meeting friends for coffee and exercising. I coach volleyball and softball at BBCHS. You can also find me traveling a few times a year to new locations or visiting friends.
