Hi there, I'm Maria!
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of The Healing Room. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, grief, and identity exploration with compassion and honesty. My practice is affirming and inclusive, with a special focus on supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community as they heal & grow.
My focus
I work with adults who are navigating major life transitions, grief, anxiety, trauma, or identity-related challenges. Many of my clients are part of the LGBTQ+ community and seek a safe, affirming space to explore who they are and what they need to feel whole. I also support individuals and families coping with illness and end-of-life concerns.
My approach
My approach to care is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in authenticity. I believe in meeting clients exactly where they are, honoring their lived experiences, and helping them uncover their inner strengths. Using a client-centered and strengths-based approach, I integrate evidence-based practices to support emotional healing.
