About

Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my Masters in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and have been practicing for 15+ years. I help adults struggling with stress and burnout, anxiety, depression and self esteem issues become the best versions of themselves.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California.
I help clients work through trauma related issues in order love a full life with positive projections in their life.

First session

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Strengths

I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

Ideal clients

I love working with adults who are in need of support and building coping skills in their life struggles. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their situations.

Treatment methods

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Empowering clients by providing coping skills and increasing effective communication skills.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Maricsa was not only knowledgeable, but brought a comfort level that put your mind at ease. She was able to get to the root of thoughts, while still being an intent listener, who also open-minded and humorous. She did not waste time, but got straight to thickness of what I wanted to get out of therapy, and challenged me to be fully open to the process, all while remaining warm and intuitive. I fully recommend her services!
