My name is Maria. I have been practicing therapy for 19 years. I have worked in a variety of settings such as, a hospital emergency room seeing individuals struggling with mental health issues. I have also work with children and adults. I feel privileged to have you allow me into your life and share your experiences and struggles with me.
Clients will know that they will be respected and never judged. They will know compassion and understanding. I am a "down to earth" type person and will not sugar -coat things to make anyone feel better but I will walk through the hard times with a person because everyone needs to feel important and know that someone cares.....and I do.
I work well with client that are struggling with depression, anxiety, work stress, relationship problems, parent issues, behavioral issues, LGBTQIA community
CBT is used to help clients rethink how they perceive things. It helps to look at different perspectives before making any decisions or reacting to what you perceive to be correct.
Clients may need to discuss losses regarding death, loss of a relationship, loss of job. Grief counseling with help them look at the grief, work through their emotions, and move forward with their goals.
Solution-Focused therapy will help the client with what issues are at hand at the moment. The client will bring the issue to the therapist, and they will work through the issue and look for a solution that the client is comfortable with.
