She specializes in supporting children, families, and adults in navigating trauma, life stressors, depression, and anxiety.
In her work, Maureen sees her clients as whole people, understanding the intersectionality of community, systems, physical health, trauma, resources, culture, relationships, and emotional well-being. She uses her experience and multiple certifications to tailor treatment to the individual or family in front of her. She understands the vulnerability it might take for her clients to present to therapy, and honors the opportunity to partner with them through the process. Maureen paces the therapeutic work to her client’s level of comfort, while gently guiding them in deepening their connection and understanding of their life experiences, values, purpose, mind, body, and relationships.
Maureen specializes in children and families at the Washington Anxiety Center of Capitol Hill. She is also fluent in Spanish.
Maureen is a Washington, DC native and currently lives abroad in Cartagena, Colombia with her husband, Dani, daughter, Inés, and puppy, Botwin. She feels grateful to be able to continue to virtually support the people of her hometown, Washington, DC. Outside of her work she enjoys hiking, punch needling, watercoloring, yoga, reading, and just generally being outside and playing in nature with her family.
