I'm Maria, a licensed clinical psychologist who works with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and the challenges of feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. I also enjoy working with neurodivergent clients, including individuals with ADHD and Autism, helping them better understand how their minds work while building practical strategies that support everyday life.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed skills, and mindfulness-based interventions, always adapting treatment to each person's unique goals and strengths.
Our first few sessions focus on getting to know you, meaning your experiences, strengths, values, and what brings you to therapy. Together we'll identify meaningful goals and create a treatment plan that fits your needs. As therapy progresses, we'll combine insight with practical strategies to help you better manage difficult emotions, navigate relationships, improve confidence, and build a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
