Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m Maria, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over twelve years of experience working with families, children, and adults. My work has focused on breaking generational cycles of trauma and navigating challenging life transitions. In my work I have supported individuals and families through growing up, raising their children, and bringing healing and harmony into the home. I am deeply passionate about helping others on their journeys toward personal growth and a better quality of life and consider it a gift to be an agent of change.

In addition to my clinical work, I am also a working mother of a college student and clinically supervise and train other clinicians. This experience gives me a unique perspective and understanding on navigating life transitions and balancing multiple roles.

My approach is warm, affirmative, and solution-oriented – with some humor mixed in. While it can feel intimidating to take that first step, if you are ready, I can guide you in finding areas of strength while also challenging areas for growth in a compassionate way. Together we can work toward healing in a safe environment and create positive change to improve your quality of life.

Therapist

Thanks for stopping by my page! I'm Kimberly, located in Southern California and have enjoyed a 20-year career in behavioral health. I specialize in working with women of all ages navigating life’s many transitions—from new motherhood and postpartum challenges to finding balance between career and family, and through the emotional and physical changes that come with pre- and post-menopause. I understand firsthand how these seasons can bring both joy and overwhelm.

Whether you’re returning to work after having a baby, learning how to care for yourself while caring for everyone else, or adjusting to the shifts that come with your body and hormones changing, you don’t have to face it alone. My goal is to help you find steadiness, confidence, and peace as you navigate it all. I’m passionate about supporting women through anxiety, depression, and the ups and downs of motherhood and womanhood. Therapy is a space to rediscover yourself — not as who you “should” be, but as who you are becoming.
