Hi there, I'm Maria!

I specialize in working with women who have experienced sexual abuse and supporting daughters who have experienced emotional neglect due to emotionally immature or unavailable parents. In therapy, we do the work to become the adults we've always deserved to be.

My focus

We'll dive deep into the emotional and physical toll of trauma, whether it's from childhood sexual abuse, growing up with emotionally unavailable parents, or navigating the complexities of being a first-generation individual. I'm here to help you unpack feelings of guilt, shame, or anxiety and work through patterns that no longer serve you.

My approach

My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore the impact of your past and how it's showing up in your life now. I take a compassionate, client-centered approach, drawing from different therapeutic methods like Internal Family Systems, Somatic Healing, and EMDR, depending on what fits best for you.
