About me:

Maria works with high achievers, individuals tired of living with anxiety and depression, and disconnected couples.

Maria has a warm and welcoming personality. Her unique and genuine style of relating allows her to listen carefully to her clients and offer insight. She uses her skills and tools to help her clients experience the kind of healing and growth they are seeking.

THERAPEUTIC STYLE

My therapeutic approach to counseling is to provide support and feedback to help clients address life challenges. I integrate techniques and offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client.  With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to attain the personal growth that they are committed to achieving.

Who do I work with?

I work with individuals, couples and families. Some of my specializations include counseling individuals dealing with self-esteem issues, depression, grief and loss, and mood disorders. I work with couples to develop skills that support positive attachment. I also help families to deescalate conflict and increase family growth.
