Therapeutic Approach 

Mae utilizes a client-centered and collaborative approach with her clients. Strong therapeutic relationships and a safe warm environment are the core of her clinical work. She believes the best treatment is tailored to each client, and so she integrates tools from evidence-based treatments based on each client’s individual needs. She offers talk therapy, play therapy, and parent-based interventions for children, adolescents, adults, and families. Mae has also found great success in integrating parent-based interventions when working with children and adolescents. She has experience with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy, behavioral parent training (BPT), parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT), and supportive parenting for anxious childhood emotions (SPACE).
