Meet Maria

In my 11 years of practice, I have experience in the treatment of mental health issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, attachment/relationship issues, behavioral issues, and life transitions. I consider myself an eclectic therapist. I incorporate evidence-based practices into my work with clients and individualize my techniques and approaches to best address their needs. I believe that my clients are the experts in their lives. Therefore, my work starts with understanding each individual client, holistically, to best assist them in meeting their desired goals in therapy.
