Nice to meet you!

Meet Hannah!

As the founder of Pg. 2 Counseling, I believe that every individual’s story deserves careful attention and understanding, particularly when navigating the complex themes of attachment and adoption trauma, PTSD, and other psychological wounds. As a lover of great literature and a student of the human experience, I recognize that each journey is unique, filled with its own chapters, characters, and turning points. My passion lies in co-authoring healing narratives with my clients, providing tailored mental health services that honor their experiences and foster resilience and connection. I invite you to explore the depths of your story with compassionate guidance, ample curiosity, humor, and a safe, creative space where you can rewrite your narrative and embrace the possibility of a brighter future. Through empathy and expertise, I strive to help you turn the page toward transformation and growth.

  • Long story short…

    I am a licensed mental health counselor serving people of all ages in Central Florida for over 10 years. I grew up in Winter Park and Apopka with my 8 incredible siblings, two remarkably patient parents, and a menagerie of different animals. I studied Psychology and Philosophy at the University of Central Florida and went on to get my master’s degree in Clinical Counseling at Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky. In the years after graduation, I dove (was shoved?) headfirst into learning about attachment and trauma (and the impacts on the family) while I briefly worked at an adoption agency. There, I met my daughter and we became a family through adoption not quite a year later. Currently, I live with my cool as can be daughter, 2 absurd dogs, 3 entitled cats, and 1 very dramatic bunny.

Meet Maya!

Hello, I'm Maya, and I am glad you are here. I believe that healing begins when people feel truly seen, heard, and understood.

As a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern (RMHCI), I am passionate about creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can safely process life's challenges and rediscover their strengths.

One of my greatest passions is helping clients move beyond simply discussing the topics of conflict to uncovering the deeper issues driving them—especially within relationships. I believe lasting change happens when we address the root rather than just the symptoms.

My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, while tailoring each session to the unique needs and experiences of the individual, couple, or family.

I earned my bachelor's degree from the University of Central Florida and my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Palm Beach Atlantic University.


  • I strive to help clients shift the narrative from asking, "What's wrong with me?" to courageously exploring, "What happened to me?" This change in perspective often opens the door to self-compassion, resilience, and lasting healing.

    Having experienced firsthand the value of having a safe, supportive space to process life's challenges, I understand the importance of meeting people with empathy rather than judgment. My approach is rooted in authenticity, empathy, and the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to rewrite the rest of their story.

    Therapy is not about erasing your past—it is about discovering that your past does not have to define your future. There is incredible power in allowing therapy to help rewrite the rest of your story, one chapter at a time.

    My favorite quote by the poet Rumi beautifully captures the hope I want every client to carry with them:

    "What you seek is seeking you."

    To me, this is a reminder that our healthiest, strongest, and most authentic selves are not lost—they are waiting patiently for us as we continue the journey toward healing, growth, and purpose.
