Meet Maux

My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
  • How diverse the human experience is: and how we never know the fire that others have walked through to get here.

  • How polyvagal theory and Somatic Experiencing can support healing after trauma experiences.

  • Change theory and the neuroscience behind how we sustain change.

  • Disenfranchised grief, loss, and navigating the world around us while deep in grief.

  • Lived experience of neurodivergence, specifically ADHD.

  • Lived experience of queer identity and living in a mixed-orientation relationship.

My cultural or ancestral background is…
  • My ancestral lineage is English, Irish, and Scottish. I am actively reconnecting with cultural and spiritual practices from my ancestral lines, and I welcome clients who are exploring their ancestral roots, whatever those may be.

Booking FAQ

Does Maux offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?

First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs and your card is charged, you’ll receive a PDF receipt by email with all the details you need to get reimbursed (therapist name, designation, license number, address, etc.). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage. We always recommend checking your coverage with your provider before booking.

How do I know if Maux is a good fit?

You are the expert when it comes to knowing who’s the right fit. Watch the therapist’s video at the top of their profile and see whether the message and energy resonate. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut — booking a free consultation is a great first step to assess fit.

What if I see no available times to book a session?

If the therapist is listed as accepting clients and you see no available times, it’s likely they haven’t updated their availability (sorry about that!). In this case, you can to see what times they have available.
