Approach to therapy
Dr. Maynard takes an integrative, client-centered approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to each person’s unique strengths, background, and goals. She draws from relational, psychodynamic, attachment-based, and cognitive behavioral therapies to meet each client’s individual needs.
Her work focuses on building insight and self-awareness, helping clients recognize how past experiences may shape current patterns, and developing healthier ways of coping with emotional overwhelm. Clients often leave therapy with a greater sense of clarity, self-compassion, and confidence in their ability to navigate life’s stressors.
Whether you’re seeking support through a life transition or feeling stuck and ready for change, Dr. Maynard offers a space to feel heard, understood, and empowered.
