Here you are again; a new life challenge is thrown at you and you feel stuck. You are in a meaningless job, a stressful relationship. Maybe you are caring for someone else.
Your days are filled with tasks and worries; you never find time for yourself. You feel exhausted, resentful and sad. But you feel you need to take care of people; if you won’t, nobody will!
Once more you rearrange your schedule to help your loved one.
You are letting yourself go and you do not like who you have become!
Maybe you have gained too much weight, maybe you stopped vacationing, what you know is that your energy is draining somewhere and you have been starting to feel lifeless most of the time.
You need to change because you are at a point of breakdown!
You do not know who you are anymore… And you have an urgency to know!
But it Does Not have to be like that!
Imagine being able to delegate tasks and have time for yourself… Being able to set priorities and listen to your personal needs. To feel in control, to be able to manage conflicts effectively and peacefully.
To know how to handle stress and not get overwhelmed.To have an organized, balanced life where you can take vacations, enjoy your friends and family, and wake up energized and happy to go to work. Having the romantic relationship of your dreams.
To be able to look in the mirror and face a person who you admire, a person you feel proud to be… To live a meaningful, exciting life. A life that you chose to live… A life that you love!
Feeling out of control, stressed out, detached from your own needs and desires is scary… But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And you won’t have to be alone on this journey. I will help you and together we will arrive at a place of peacefulness, success, self-confidence, fulfilling relationships and a life full of meaning.
“Therapy to me is taking a journey together. You drive; I have the GPS. We have an array of routes that can take you anywhere you want to go. You can choose a straight route, the shortest, the fastest, the longest, the scenic route; you can choose to pay tolls, to skip the highways, you decide on your speed limit. You can stop and go as you please. You can change your itinerary at any time. You are an explorer, I am your guide.”

Your Guide’s Background
My name is Mayra Bagnoli and my passion is helping people to build the lives of their dreams! Maybe it comes from the fact that I did pursue and conquered the life of my dreams.
I am Brazilian. I moved to the United States in 1994 due to a job opportunity. That was a very exciting- yet pretty scary- time in my life!
I was an occupational therapist and I came here to work at a psychiatric hospital. I had experience with this population which I love, and I knew where I was moving to as I had visited Florida in 1991 and I fell in love with this place.
My English was not fluent and I struggled a lot until I was able to master the language. It was a big transition. I moved alone, barely speaking the language without having any local support system.
I went through doubt, fear, tears, loneliness, sometimes prejudice and then I learned to reach out for help, to speak for myself, to be a driver of my life and also about the importance of consciously choosing my destination.
I had my shares of forced stops, flat tires, gas stops, but I had freedom… I was driving, I had found my direction; life had meaning, colors, movement…
Now, many years later, dominating English and Spanish, having had a family, raised a son, and started my own successful business, this is what I bring to the table: potential, possibilities, clarity, connection, finding inner motivation…
I am specialized in soul-searching… I love helping people to engage in deep dives within themselves; to get in contact with their innermost values, desires, and dreams… And more so, I love to help them to find and use the tools which transform them on the people they were meant to be.
The caterpillar becomes a butterfly. The person who was stuck on a life of routine of sameness, of servicing the needs of others, and who was so detached from his/her own needs re-discovers pleasure, connection, meaning. And flies, conquering the world…
That is what makes my life worthwhile. Each “butterfly” that I see manifesting makes my world a little more colorful and more meaningful…
A bit more about my journey…
During my journey, I worked for over 20 years in psychiatric hospitals until I decided that my desired destination was a private practice. I then went back to school, graduated with a Master of Social Work degree, completed more training and became a Licensed Social Worker.
Now free of the limits of working around psychiatric diagnoses, I help people of all walks of life, who are struggling with life transitions and growing pains, with or without a psychiatric diagnose, to find their destiny, their voice, their mission.
I will work in collaboration with you to explore tools to relax, develop assertiveness and create an action plan to build the life of your dreams.
I also offer sessions in Portuguese and Spanish.
