Meet Maleia
Explore your past, understand your present, create your future.
I’m here to help you create real change—without dragging it out.
Hi, I’m Maleia—and I’m really glad you’re here.
I’m a licensed therapist who works with individuals who feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them—whether that looks like anxiety, trauma, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from yourself or your relationships. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but exhausted on the inside. If that resonates, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
My Approach
I believe healing happens when we feel safe enough to be honest—both with ourselves and with another person. My work is relational, trauma-informed, and rooted in the understanding that your symptoms make sense in the context of your story.
I integrate approaches such as somatic and brain-based therapies, mindfulness, and insight-oriented work to help clients move beyond simply “talking about” their struggles and into deeper, lasting change. Together, we pay attention not just to thoughts and emotions, but also to what your body is holding.
Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and paced to meet you where you are. There’s room for depth, curiosity, humor, and real human moments.
AT THE END OF THE DAY...My goal is to help clients achieve a sense of steadiness in their lives: a confidence in themselves and their relationships that comes from knowing they can be “ok” in the face of life’s ups and downs.
Counseling is not just about making life better; hard times are inevitable. Instead, it’s about getting to the root of what’s keeping you stuck and building the clarity, skills, and confidence to navigate whatever life throws your way. Because once you get the deep, personalized support that actually helps you shift what’s beneath the surface, change doesn’t have to take years. And once you begin to heal and grow from the inside out, everything else begins to shift too.
You no longer feel the pressure to be all things to all people. Instead, you gain the freedom to make decisions that align with your values—and the life you’re meant to live.
My Guiding Principles
Congruence
Our past experiences have influenced and programmed us for how we act, think, and feel today. By uncovering this programming and the purpose it serves in life, I help you deconstruct unhealthy patterns and build new ones.
Connection
Anxiety, communication breakdown, and discontentment are often the cause of areas of our life being out of balance. I aim to help you bring life back into harmony, guiding you to intentionality in what you do, why you do it, and where you put your energy.
Curiosity
Fostering a spirit of curiosity allows your to stop, assess, and decide how to approach a situation. You can learn to evaluate the narrative you are creating and to first seek to understand yourself and your partner before reacting.
