Meet Mae

Therapy is one of the few places where you don’t have to hold everything together.

 

I offer a steady, grounded space where you can feel understood and begin to explore what’s happening beneath the surface. My work is especially helpful for people who are ready to move beyond coping and start making sense of the deeper patterns shaping their lives and relationships.

 

I provide online therapy for adults and couples across Virginia, Maine, Connecticut, and Vermont. As a solo practitioner, I’m able to offer a more personal and consistent experience — one where I truly get to know the people I work with.

 

In our work together, we slow things down, reflect honestly, and begin to understand what’s been shaping your experiences — so you can start responding in ways that feel more aligned with who you are.

Who I Work With

People often come to therapy during seasons that feel heavier than expected — times of anxiety, relationship strain, burnout, grief, trauma, or significant life transitions.

 

Many of my clients are high-achieving adults who appear steady on the outside but privately feel depleted, overwhelmed, or unsure how to slow down.

 

I also work with couples who want to reconnect, communicate more effectively, and better understand what’s happening within their relationship.

 

No matter what brings you here, the common thread is this:

You’re ready to move beyond just getting through the day and start feeling more present, more grounded, and more like yourself again.

​​

My Approach

Therapy should never be one-size-fits-all.

 

Your story, identity, and experiences matter. I draw from several evidence-based approaches and adapt them to fit you — not the other way around.

 

My style is warm, steady, and engaged. I create a space where you can be fully yourself, where difficult emotions can be explored honestly, and where growth happens at a pace that feels natural and sustainable.

Clients often describe our work as thoughtful, practical, and deeply human.

.

Why I Do This Work

I created this practice because I believe therapy should be a place where you can finally exhale.

 

A place where your emotions are understood, your experiences are respected, and your growth feels both possible and supported.

 

Walking alongside people as they reconnect with themselves and build healthier relationships is the most meaningful part of what I do.

I integrate several evidence-based approaches to support meaningful, lasting change:
