Online and in-person Therapy for Adults, teens and children
Relational, Trauma Therapy that honors your Inner Wisdom
I’m glad you found your way here!
Many people arrive feeling stuck and confused — knowing something isn’t working, but not knowing where to start or what needs to change. You might notice familiar patterns repeating, emotional reactions that don’t quite make sense, or a body that feels tense, heavy, or worn down. There’s often a sense that past experiences are still influencing the present, even if it’s hard to see how the pieces fit together yet.

Repeating patterns you understand intellectually, but can’t seem to change — such as perfectionism, people-pleasing, chronic self-doubt, or feeling emotionally shut down.
Living with anxiety, depression, or physical symptoms like pain, fatigue, or digestive issues that won’t settle, and are beginning to wonder if stress or earlier experiences are playing a role.
Having tried therapy before and learned the tools, but still finding it difficult to experience lasting change. You may be looking for work that feels deeper, steadier, and more attuned — something that helps you understand why these patterns formed, not just how to manage them.
Being a parent who has noticed changes in your child or teen — increased meltdowns, withdrawal, school difficulties, anxiety, identity questions, or signs of neurodivergence. You may feel unsure how to help, worried about doing the wrong thing, or torn between protecting your child and encouraging independence.

Hi, I’m Maxi
I specialize in trauma-informed therapy that honours the complexities of your lived experience
Trauma doesn’t always come from one clear event, it can form through ongoing stress, early responsibility, emotional misattunement, or environments where you had to adapt to get through. Over time, these experiences can shape how we relate to ourselves and others, cope with life demands, and move through the world. Our work together begins by understanding those patterns — not as problems, but as intelligent responses that once helped you survive.
Therapy can offer a space to slow down and begin noticing what’s been carried, what keeps repeating, and what may no longer fit — for you, or for your child. The work here isn’t about fixing or forcing change. It’s about creating enough safety for your system to loosen its grip on what’s no longer serving you, so healing can unfold in its own time.
As a trauma therapist, I offer therapy to adults, children, and teens. Therapy with me is relational, respectful, and rooted in your innate wisdom. We might work with the body, with memory, with emotion, or with nervous system patterns— always guided by what feels supportive and right for you. My work is deeply shaped by my training in EMDR, and somatics while being influenced by IFS, and attachment-based approaches. But just as much, it’s shaped by my belief in the resilience and wisdom within each person who walks through my door.
Ways We Can Work Together
What to Expect
What working together may look like
Reaching out for support takes courage. Let me take some of the uncertainty out of that first step. Below is a gentle outline of what to expect if you choose to connect with me.
1
Free Consultation
This first conversation is a chance to connect and get a feel for one another. You’re welcome to share what’s bringing you here, ask questions, and see whether this feels like a supportive next step.
2
First sessions
The first few sessions are about settling into the therapeutic space together. We’ll talk about what’s been most challenging for you and start where it feels comfortable, moving at a pace that feels right for you.
3
Ongoing work
Ongoing work is shaped collaboratively. Most of my clients begin meeting weekly or biweekly to build momentum and support meaningful change. As things begin to settle and progress becomes clearer, we’ll slow the pace together in a way that feels supportive and sustainable.
An invitation to begin
Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, a teen or a child, I gently invite you to reach out and together we can explore what may be possible in this therapeutic space. I look forward to connecting with you.
