Maya is a therapist trainee currently pursuing her Master's degree in Clinical Counseling at Alliant International University. She draws from a variety of modalities, integrating narrative, feminist, and psychodynamic approaches to support clients in cultivating a greater sense of self-understanding in how they relate to themselves as well as the world around them. Maya views therapy as a powerful mechanism of change that supports individuals in their ability to navigate marginalizing systems of power, inspires self-agency, and empowers clients' ability to holistically engage in their life. As a member of LGBTQIA+ community, she seeks to create an affirming environment where clients can honor the complexity of their identities, process their stories, and live in alignment with their values.
