About Maile

I work with individuals who are struggling to manage the effects of big transitions, the grief that often accompanies and sometimes the pain and trauma that follows. We work together to solve the conflicts that are getting in the way of you connecting to yourgoals, desires and future. When our work is complete you will feel grounded in your body, able to process everyday and ongoing stressors and have a multitude of tools that can support you in understanding your desires, reaching your dreams, and having a felt sense of who you are and what is important to you. When folks come to me they often identify deep feelings of sadness, discomfort or distraction because of one or many disruptive experiences. This is accompanied by somatic symptoms like feeling shaky, sweaty hands, heart racing, throat closing and generally feeling hypervigilant of their surroundings. All of these sensations get in the way of being able to easily manage day to day life as well as reducing their access to the life they really desire. Together we will work with somatic tools to really understand your body to help you anchor back into yourself. Through talk therapy we begin to identify the stories that have been barriers to your success, often stories that are causing great harm under the surface. We examine these stories and begin to understand their purpose, if they still benefit you and the harm they are causing. From there you get to make active and informed decisions about how you want to move forward with these beliefs. Maybe, there is room to shift or maybe there is validity in their existence? All the while we stay with the body and address past, present, and future hopes that influence these beliefs. During a 50minute meeting/conversation we sit together in my Lisbon office or virtually from your most comfortable and convenient spot to sort out the problems and find real solutions that will support your mental health and in turn, your life.… Read more
