My name is Maury, and I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions, and grief/loss.
My therapeutic style is collaborative, exploratory, and deeply existential. In our work together, we check morality at the door - right and wrong have no business in our work together. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner world, help you to tell the truth (to yourself) about your deeply complicated life and rediscover meaning. In our sessions, we bring to light the deeper questions that quietly shape how you live. What happened to you? What matters to you? What gives your life purpose? What are you REALLY afraid of?

I specialize in supporting people with all types of neurodivergence. Many of my clients also have additional mental health concerns. Neurodivergent people are not broken. Instead, our brains process the world differently. However, the world is designed for neurotypical brains, which can make it confusing, difficult, and painful to operate in the world as a neurodivergent person. It can also create or compound mental health concerns like anxiety or depression. Having support from someone with a deep understanding of neurodivergence and mental health can help you better understand yourself and navigate the world around you.

I use an attachment-informed blend of ACT, DBT, IFS, and existential theory to explore your thoughts, feelings, family history, and cultural background.
You’re capable, self-aware, and by all accounts, you’re "fine". Yet there’s a persistent gap between the life you’ve built and how you actually feel. Maybe it’s the 3:00am mental loop replaying every interaction from the day, or a sense of being lonely in a relationship that should feel like home. You don’t just need more coping skills or advice; you need to understand the "why" behind the patterns that keep you stuck in these loops despite your best efforts. With a background in behavioral research, I bring a unique "under the hood" perspective to our work that will help you bridge the gap between what's "known" vs. what's felt.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
