Hi, I’m Maria — I work with teens, transitional-age youth (16–25), and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, and the impact of trauma, including interpersonal violence and sexual assault. I know reaching out for support takes courage, and I’m glad you’re here.
I see healing as something we figure out together — it’s not one size fits all. I bring curiosity, creativity, and a collaborative spirit into sessions so you feel comfortable exploring what’s happening for you. We’ll find ways to express and unpack experiences that are hard to put into words, including through creative tools when that feels right. Along the way, I’ll help you notice patterns in your thinking and build practical skills that support you in day-to-day life.
Our first session is all about you — your story, what matters most right now, and what you’d like to work on. I hope you walk away feeling heard, safe, and understood. Over time, many of my clients describe me as warm, open-minded, and genuinely present — someone who makes space for their whole self. Together we’ll create a supportive space where your voice matters and you can make meaningful progress at your pace.
