Therapy for Anxiety, Trauma, & Highly Sensitive People (HSP)
in-person in NYC & online across New York State
From overwhelm to steadiness.
You’re struggling to manage your feelings without exploding or shutting down
You’re an overachiever who always tries to do the right thing
You’ve learned to judge yourself so harshly
You wish you could just let go of feeling both “not good enough” and “too much”
In other words - you’re ready to stop feeling like shit about yourself & finally loosen the knot that’s always in your chest.
You ache for ease and real, lasting change.
A life you actually enjoy is possible - I can help you get there.
If you’ve tried all the positive thinking, meditation, and talking through the same anxiety stories over and over but still don’t feel better….it’s not your fault.
Traditional talk therapy engages the cognitive part of the brain, but anxiety and trauma hang out in the body and nervous system.
That’s why in therapy with me we work with the body, nervous system, and creativity - not just your thoughts.
Hi, I’m Maya (she/her).
I’m a music therapist and psychotherapist in New York.
I specialize in helping women soothe their anxiety, heal from difficult childhoods, and embrace their sensitivity. I know what it’s like to live with the pressure of constant anxiety, being “too sensitive”, and always being the good daughter and the responsible one.
I’m here to tell you that you deserve to be loud, messy, sensitive, and angry - without apologizing for any of it.
What many clients like about me is that I show up as a real person - curse words, loud laughter, and comfy clothes - so you can feel safe to show up too.
Through our work together, you’ll understand and learn to move through difficult feelings, constant self-criticism, and long-held family stories. You'll learn to soothe your overwhelmed nervous system in simple and new ways. I’ll help you reconnect with yourself through creativity, music, and mindfulness so you can live with more confidence and ease.
It’s time to step into a life you actually enjoy - let’s get started today.
