From an early age, we all learn ways to cope with stress, change, and new relationships. Sometimes, familiar coping strategies, which may have served you well in the past, are no longer effective as life inevitably changes. You may feel "stuck" in these moments and at a loss for how to move forward. I work to provide a safe therapy space to explore feelings of sadness, worry, and uncertainty. Together, we can develop new coping strategies and create a plan for positive change that feels meaningful to you.

Study after study indicates that what "works" in therapy is the quality of the relationship between the client and therapist. I create a strong relationship in which my clients feel safe and understood while sharing and exploring their lives.
I conceptualize from a psychodynamic orientation and contour treatment to the specific needs of the individual.

Living life fully and successfully is a great challenge, while coping with emotional, behavioral, or cognitive struggles. We are taught to read, write and do math in school, but where do we learn the skills to live effectively and happily? I approach psychotherapy as an educational, supportive process that occurs in a safe environment where individuals can learn the skills to meet life's challenges and gain control of their lives. Our Centers offer not only psychotherapy services, but comprehensive neuropsychological testing and treatment for learning disorders, ADHD, memory problems, concussion, and brain disorders.

Life is filled with many opportunities as well as challenges. My goal is to help children and adolescents recognize and seize those opportunities and overcome any challenges and obstacles that get in their way. By helping them create a positive mindset, build effective coping strategies, and expand their repertoire of problem-solving skills, they can live a healthy, satisfying, and successful social and academic life. The earlier these skills are cultivated within the child or adolescent, the greater the opportunities to practice and utilize them to their benefit. Please visit my website: www.childresilience.com

I had my first position as a counselor when I was just 20 and the compassion that lived through me then continues 48 years later. While developing professionally I enrolled in a personal individual and group training analysis and had a deep and caring experience as a patient. I consider it an incredible responsibility to practice as an integrative healer as I believe the therapeutic relationship is a privilege between two people. I continue to cultivate my personal practice, evolving throughout my life with an open heart, and open mind. My mother, and father remain central influences in my practice as a psychologist/psychoanalyst.

Welcome! My name is Mae and I am dually licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). I obtained my first degree from the United States International University in Africa where I started my career as a therapist. I completed my second master’s degree from Walden University in the United States where I continue to practice as a clinician. I believe asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. It’s a sign of humility, not defeat. I strive to create an environment based on confidence - recognizing what it takes to bring a person into therapy.

These are very overwhelming times we are experiencing. Stress from family relationships, career, social circles, and other oppressive, traumatic life events can be overwhelming to deal with. But, despite these stressors, you are STILL HERE and you are STILL STRONG. It takes courage to ask for the help you need and to prioritize your own well being. You are making a good decision and you deserve a fulfilled life, in spite of past traumas and struggles.

Announcement January 2023: This Provider Firmly Rejects the Recent American Academy of Pediatrics Guidelines on Medicalized and Surgical Weight Loss for Children as Misguided, Dangerous, and Immoral. I specialize in working with insightful, empathic women who have been conditioned to mistrust themselves. Together we challenge self-doubt and judgment so that they can flourish in their own skin. While my clients tend to be adult women, I enjoy working with folks of all gender-identities, as well as with mature adolescents. The clients I have worked with best know me as warm, often silly, but always invested in their story.

My ideal client is someone open to the process of therapy. Someone who is willing to show up for themselves, and “put in the work”. My client may be someone dealing with anxiety, depression, or challenges of ADHD, such as Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria. My client may be feeling in a rut or “stuck” in personal aspects of their life. My client may be challenged by different phases and stages of life, by not feeling capable or feeling easily overwhelmed. They want to engage in therapy and work on achieving their personal goals in a space where they are seen, heard, validated and encouraged.

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 12 years’ experience working in the psychiatric field. I have experience working with adults, children and families in a variety of outpatient and inpatient settings. Although I specialize in CBT and DBT, and other various modalities, it is a priority for me to continue to recognize that each client’s case and background is different from one another. Clients know themselves best and a collaborative approach may be beneficial to discover the best route to progress. A team-like approach is a priority in treatment.

As a psychologist, I appreciate the opportunity to witness peoples’ capacity for not only surviving, but also thriving in today’s complicated world. My experience over the past decade has brought me to understand the many ways a therapist’s role is akin to that of a gardener tending to a lotus. Just as the young lotus needs tender care and stillness, I provide a safe, nurturing and collaborative environment. Respecting the lotus’s need for sunlight, I approach therapy with warmth, openness and humor. As a Confucian scholar once said, “I love the lotus because while growing from mud, it is unstained.”

What type of Princeton mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
