Nice to Meet You, I'm Maia!

I am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work degree at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. My role as an intern will allow me to learn and grow beside my clients, which I believe adds a unique perspective when providing therapy. I have over a year of experience working in the case management field, which includes working with individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. I connect individuals to resources and support them with getting their basic needs met, while maintaining an open and safe environment and professional relationship. I also have a year of experience working with unhoused individuals by connecting them with housing, food, and clothing resources and providing them with a safe shelter space. 

I am passionate about helping others through their challenges and allowing them to explore techniques that are beneficial for them. I am dedicated to meeting individuals where they are at and working with them to grow from there. When working with clients, I will provide a safe and open space. I would describe myself as gentle, empathetic, and passionate, and hope that this will be seen in my work with clients.
