Hi there, I'm Maria!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience providing trauma-informed care across medical, correctional, and child welfare settings. I specialize in individual and family therapy, crisis intervention, and care coordination, particularly with underserved and Spanish-speaking populations.

My focus

I specialize in working with adults, young adults, and families facing trauma, grief, life transitions, or emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are navigating complex systems—like healthcare, foster care, or incarceration—and need both emotional support and practical guidance. I’m here to support you, without judgment.

My approach

My work is grounded in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused interventions, and motivational interviewing. I also integrate elements of play therapy and family systems work when needed, especially when working with children, adolescents, or families.
