Therapy Tailored to You

My approach is client-led and collaborative, meaning we move at your pace and work together to help you reach your goals. Whether you are processing loss, preparing for parenthood, or navigating trauma, I’m here to support you with compassion and evidence-based care.

I offer Therapy and EMDR sessions, incorporating a blend of modalities such as:

- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

- Narrative Therapy

- Mindfulness Techniques

- Emotion-focused therapy (EFT)

- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

 

As an avid reader and writer, I also love weaving storytelling, journaling, and reflection into sessions when it supports your healing journey.

ABOUT ME

Hi. I’m Mahaley, and I am so glad you’re here

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, certified in perinatal mental health, and trained in EMDR. As a bereaved parent, and a mother by birth and surrogacy, I am no stranger to the complex emotions that one may experience as they navigate their journey to and through parenthood. It is my goal to create a safe space where all emotions and experiences are welcome and valid, and to make my clients feel heard and cared for.
