You’re self-aware, capable and
high-functioning - yet, the same relational or chronic stress patterns keep returning.

You’re not broken and you’re not doing anything wrong.

You may understand what's happening and why, but your body hasn’t caught up and patterns keep repeating.

 I work with women who are insightful, capable, and self-aware — yet still find relationships effortful, anxiety hard to manage, or experience themselves people-pleasing, feeling disconnected, reactive, or unsure how to express their needs in a healthy way.
 

My work is especially supportive for women who want a more embodied, practical way of working through change and receiving support. You desire to work in a way that shifts how you experience anxiety and stress in your body. 

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, physical pain, chronic tension, digestive issues, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from oneself?

 

Hardship can be deeply painful. It takes a toll on us mentally, physically, emotionally and ultimately impacts our relationships, our ability to live with ease and even our confidence. 

Maya's counselling approach has been deeply influenced by the work of Dr. Gabor Maté, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, and Dr. Richard Schwartz.  Their research reinforces that healing involves the whole person and emotional support plays a big role in alleviating both mental and physical symptoms.
