Personal biography

I felt a deep calling in my spirit to help serve and heal others. That calling inspired me to pursue nursing with a commitment to excellence. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2012 and then completed my Master of Science and Family Nurse Practitioner license in 2017. Driven by an even greater passion, I went on to earn a second Master of Science and my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner license in 2019. I completed my Doctorate in Nursing Practice at the end of 2020.

In every patient interaction I honor the unique physical mental and spiritual needs of each individual. My curiosity has led me around the world to rediscover forgotten healing modalities and integrate them into my work. My practice blends holistic complementary integrative and Western medicine into a cohesive approach that stands the test of time.

As an IFBB Pro bodybuilder I also emphasize the physical component of well-being helping my clients move closer to their goals. I have worked across nearly every area of healthcare guiding clients to reclaim their lives and pursue lasting wellness without sacrificing quality of life.

Reviews!

Maxine is simply the best in the business, hands down. She is caring and supportive and listens very well. She makes sure to adress all of your concerns while not over medicating you like some doctors do. She would be a perfect fit for someone's first experience with mental health, I wish she had been mine.
Maxine is amazing and very caring she always make you feel so special and give you the best advice. My son is always happy to see her, we are blessed to have her in our lives. Thank you for all you do.
Dr. O is IT! Her energy she brings is so soothing and so empowering. She listens to your needs and truly hears you and goes above and beyond to find a solution to help you. She is a powerful force in all of the good ways. I feel so blessed to have her on my psych team.
