About me
I’m Maria, a therapist who believes true healing is possible. My approach integrates psychotherapy, EMDR, mindfulness, CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care, with faith integration when desired. I also offer therapy in Spanish. I’ll walk alongside you as you build resilience, restore peace, and reconnect with your authentic self. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental, compassionate environment where we can explore your story together and gently rediscover safety, grounding, and hope. You don’t have to go through this alone.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and create a safe, comfortable space for you to share what’s bringing you to therapy. I’ll ask about your goals, background, and what you hope to gain from our work together. We’ll explore your current challenges at a pace that feels right for you and begin identifying patterns that may be affecting your well-being. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful—with a clearer sense of direction for your healing journey.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths are creating a safe, compassionate space where you can feel deeply understood and guiding you toward lasting healing through an integrative, trauma-informed approach. I combine EMDR, mindfulness, CBT, and ACT to help you process painful experiences and regulate emotions. Allow me to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges. Together, we’ll build coping skills, strengthen self-awareness, and restore resilience and connection. If you’re ready to begin, I’m here to help.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are those who are seeking deep healing and lasting change—people navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, or life transitions who are ready to understand themselves on a deeper level. You may feel stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed, yet still sense that peace and purpose are possible. I work best with clients who value authenticity, are open to self-reflection, and are committed to doing the inner work of healing. Together, we’ll build resilience, emotional balance, and a renewed sense of identity through a compassionate and integrative therapeutic process.
