Maura is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Akron. She hasspecialized training in the assessment and treatment of youth behavioral disorders and extensive experience working with children, teens, young adults, and families impacted by trauma, mood disorders, problematic sexual behavior (PSB-CY), attachment styles, and co-occurring mental health conditions.

Maura’s approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based, grounded in evidence-based practices including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused interventions, and family systems work. She offers both individual and family therapy and strive to create a safe, collaborative space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported throughout the therapeutic process.

Maura is deeply committed to providing culturally sensitive care that honors and affirms clients of all backgrounds, including the LGBTQIA community, and all races and ethnicities. I aim to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered. She is passionate about helping people and their families build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, implement behavioral activation, and strengthen their relationship(s) with themselves and others through therapy. Whether working one-on-one or with the entire family system, she aims to support meaningful growth and connection as you navigate life’s challenges.

Outside of therapy, Maura enjoys coaching middle school soccer and track, spending quality time with my nieces and nephews, reading suspense novels, traveling to new places, motorcycling, and training her service dog. These activities bring her joy, balance, and a deeper appreciation for community and growth in all areas of life. She is grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside individuals and families on their journey toward healing, growth, and lasting change.
