Heart-centered Psychotherapy

Hi! I’m Maggie~

I’m a Licensed Therapist (LMFT #145986) with nearly 10 years of experience supporting clients. I earned my Master’s in Holistic Counseling Psychology from JFK University in San Jose in 2018. I offer teletherapy for adults located anywhere in California.

​

About Me~ I am an INFJ. I am married and we have a 3 year old son and 2 cats! I have always enjoyed connecting with people in meaningful ways. My aim is to really understand who you are and what your life experience has been and to support you on your journey in life. I consider myself a curious, kind, and open-minded person. 

​

Some of the Areas I Specialize in~

• PTSD and CPTSD (including but not limited to: verbal abuse trauma, sexual trauma, childhood trauma, attachment wounds, other events that may have flooded your system way outside of your window of tolerance, and much more.

• Neurodivergence (ASD, AuDHD, ADHD, HSP) and all the nuances that might come with that such as- "neuro-crash", sensory overload/overwhelm, differences with energy levels, socializing followed by exhaustion, rejection sensitivity, demand avoidance, and much more. 

• Disordered eating and body image or those in recovery; for those with active/severe Eating Disorders, an IOP/PHP might be a better fit temporarily and then once you are ready to step down to weekly therapy, we can always work together :) 

• Mild Alcohol/Substance use or those in recovery; for those with active and severe alcohol or substance an IOP/PHP might be a better fit temporarily and then once you are ready to step down to weekly therapy, we can always work together :) 

• Chronic health challenges: hypermobility, autoimmune conditions, headaches/migraines, and more.

• Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Panic, Depression, OCD

• Navigating big feelings such as heartbreak, grief, loneliness, isolating, fear, perfectionism, being hard on oneself/having a harsh inner critic, self-esteem, dating anxiety, and much more.

• Sleep issues, nightmares 

• Transition to adulthood

• Work stress 

• Relationship (significant other(s) friendship, coworker, family member, etc.) challenges and/or conflicts

• Pregnancy, Postpartum, Parenting

What is a LMFT?~ Licensed Marriage Family Therapists are Licensed Psychotherapists. In each state, schools have different licensing boards. In California (where I went to school) the most popular licensing board for a Masters in Psychology degree is the LMFT track. LCSW and LPCC are common in other states and they are Licensed Psychotherapists too. 

​

What is the difference between Psychotherapist, Psychologist, and Psychiatrist? Psychotherapists and Psychologists are similar, but Psychologists have a PhD or PsyD. They can do additional things like sign off on disability paperwork and doing full neuropsychology testing evaluations. Psychiatrists prescribe psychiatric medications. It is often that one will have both a Psychiatrist for medication and also a Psychotherapist or Psychologist for the talking part because oftentimes insurance doesn't cover as much time for "talk therapy" with a psychiatrist, so it is wise to have both!

​

Fees & Insurance~ For individual therapy, my private pay rate is a sliding scale from $90-150 depending on what you can afford. I’m in-network with Aetna, United Healthcare, Optum, Blue Shield, Magellan, Cigna, and Providence.

 

Unique Things about My Practice~ I don't use AI to dictate my notes nor do I put my notes on any platform. Privacy is very important to me! Other things that are super important to me include providing trauma informed care, being sex positive, body positive, neurodivergent affirming, ENM/Poly affirming, gender affirming, in support of LGBTQIA+, in support of racial justice, religious tolerance, and more. ​​​
