Heart-centered Psychotherapy

Hi! I’m Maggie.

I’m a Licensed Therapist (LMFT #145986) with 9 years of experience supporting clients. I earned my Master’s in Holistic Counseling Psychology from JFK University in San Jose in 2018. I now offer teletherapy for adults located anywhere in California. Since I can remember, I have always had an insatiable curiosity about people and human nature. I have always enjoyed connecting with people in deep and meaningful ways. My aim is to really understand who you are and what your life experience has been and to support you on your therapeutic goals. I consider myself a curious, gentle, open-minded person. 

​

I am very "eclectic" in the way I practice. I like to ask a lot of questions at the beginning. I like to know what clients are coming to me for (maybe they don't even fully know because of trauma and other factors and they need help gaining clarity). Then, I use assessment tools to form a picture. We may include EMDR (I’m trained through Thrive, EMDRIA-accredited), or talk therapy with IFS-informed work, psychoanalytics, and psychoeducation on trauma-informed care, attachment theory, and more. I also love to incorporate guided meditation/visualization for those interested in this as well. I even sometimes incorporate astrology, Myers Briggs, and Enneagram from a Jungian lens for those who are interested! I am INFP 4W5!

​

Some of the Areas I Specialize in:

• PTSD and CPTSD (including but not limited to: verbal abuse trauma, sexual trauma, childhood trauma, attachment wounds, complex family/relationship dynamics, other scary 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, communication differences, differences with focus and energy levels, social masking followed by exhaustion, rejection sensitivity, and much more. 

• Disordered eating and body image; 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 :) 

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

• Anxiety, Panic, Depression, OCD, Navigating other big feelings such as heartbreak, grief, loneliness, isolating, fear, perfectionism, being hard on oneself/having a harsh inner critic, shame, self-esteem, overthinking, and much more.

• Sleep issues, nightmares 

• Transition to adulthood

• Work stress 

• Relationship challenges

• Pregnancy, Postpartum, Parenting

 

Fees & Insurance~

For individual therapy, my private pay rate is a sliding scale from $100-140. I also offer every-other-week sessions as an option to reduce cost. I’m in-network with Aetna, Carelon, Cigna, United Healthcare/Optum, Blue Shield of CA (HMO, EPO, PPO). For all other insurance plans, I can support you in using out-of-network benefits- without the hassle of submitting superbills (I use Thrizer to make this easy). I’m happy to run your benefits and walk you through options.​​​
