Person-Centered
Humanistic Therapy
Centers your dignity, agency, and lived experience.
In the room: you set the pace. No scripts, no agenda imposed on your story.
How Maggie Works
A holistic, flexible approach to therapy.
Maggie draws from multiple therapeutic traditions to meet each client with care, depth, and practical support.
The toolkit
Six ways of working. One steady approach.
Maggie’s approach is holistic, with a foundation in humanistic, cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic psychology — tailored to each client’s unique needs. No formulas, no jargon. Here’s what each tradition actually feels like in the room.
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Helps identify thought patterns that shape feelings and behavior.
In the room: we catch the thought behind the spiral — and test whether it’s actually true.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic Therapy
Explores deeper patterns, history, and emotional roots.
In the room: we get curious about where a pattern began, so it loosens its grip on the present.
DBT
DBT-Informed Work
Builds skills for regulation, distress tolerance, and relationships.
In the room: concrete skills for the moment the wave hits — not just for the calm after.
ACT
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Helps you act from values, even when life feels hard.
In the room: we practice making space for hard feelings while still moving toward what matters.
Narrative
Narrative Therapy
Supports you in reshaping the stories you carry about yourself.
In the room: we look at the story you’ve been telling about yourself — and where you hold the pen.

Before you decide therapy isn’t for you
Four myths worth turning over.
Hover or tap a card to flip it.
Myth · 01
“I have to hit rock bottom before therapy can help.”
What’s actually true
The earlier you start, the more choices you still have. You don’t earn the right to support through suffering — “this is getting heavier” is reason enough.
Myth · 02
“Therapy is lying on a couch, analyzing my childhood forever.”
What’s actually true
This work is collaborative and practical — two people, present tense. Your history comes in when it’s useful, not as a permanent address.
Myth · 03
“Needing therapy means something is broken in me.”
What’s actually true
Struggling is part of being human, not a defect. You are not a problem to be fixed — and asking for support is a skill, not a surrender.
Myth · 04
“If I bring up my drinking, I’ll be forced to quit.”
What’s actually true
You set the goals here. Being unsure — even deeply ambivalent — is a normal place to start, and no one will push you toward a decision you haven’t made.
An honest thirty seconds
Is the ground thawing?
Nobody arrives at therapy with a diagnosis in hand. Most people arrive with a feeling that something is shifting. Tap anything below that’s true for you — no wrong answers, and nothing is recorded.

Winter has its own wisdom. When you’re ready, the door is open.
* Not a diagnosis — just a place to start noticing.
What to expect
The arc of the work, one step at a time.
No two paths look exactly alike — but most begin the same way. Here’s the shape the work usually takes, from the first phone call onward.
Step one · Before anything else
A free phone call.
We start with a complimentary 30-minute phone consultation. You share what’s bringing you here; we see whether working together feels like the right fit. No pressure, no commitment.
Step two · Getting started
Your first session.
We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope will change, and how we can begin supporting you. You don’t need to arrive with the perfect words — we begin where you are.
Step three · The early work
Explore.
We understand what is happening and why it makes sense. Sessions are 50 minutes, typically weekly — a steady rhythm of honest, unhurried attention.
Step four · The middle of the work
Practice.
We build tools that support change outside the therapy room — ways to regulate, communicate, and respond differently when it counts.
Step five · Where it leads
Integrate.
We help new patterns become part of daily life — until the steadiness you practice in session starts to feel like your own.
Let’s walk this path together.
