About Me

Get to Know Me and How I Work

Hello, I'm Maylene

Your Partner in Mental Health

I grew up in a large extended family affected by mental health and addiction. This gave me a practical understanding of how people can make significant life changes and what holds them back from doing so.

My approach is based on the idea that our feelings and behaviors are connected through the nervous systems.

I use the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, along with mindfulness and body-based techniques, to help you understand your patterns. We will work together to manage challenges, gain understanding and build a more confident, intentional life.

I have seen therapy create powerful change, both personally and professionally. My role is to support you in your own growth.

 

I look forward to starting that work with you.
