Hi there, I'm Maria!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering an affirming, collaborative, and empowering therapeutic space. My approach is motivational and supportive as we work together toward meaningful change. I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, and other challenges affecting overall well-being.

My focus

I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges, including addiction, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues. I help individuals strengthen coping skills, build self-esteem, reduce stress, address substance use, and heal from trauma or PTSD.

My approach

My approach is insightful, directive, exploratory, outcome-oriented, practical, and responsive to each client’s needs. I draw from CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, psychodynamic and attachment-focused therapies, schema work, and humanistic principles to support meaningful insight and lasting change.
