Hello, I am Maritza! Are you looking for a purpose or a sense of direction in your life? Perhaps feeling overwhelmed by your emotions and feeling as if you are unable to make decisions? Therapy can benefit and serve as a powerful strategy to learn tailored tools to help you navigate your emotions and put you back on track. As you may know, life has a way of presenting people with challenges they could have possibly not imagined would have to face. This can lead to anxiety, depression, grief, and ultimately a life transition. I believe that finding our purpose for life, can help us get through our lives with a more meaningful and mindful perspective. My approach is a mindful one, in which I help clients explore their internal thoughts and emotions their body and mind provide and guide them so they can have greater awareness and make healthier conscious choices. I specialized in grief and loss, CBT, DBT . Clients who work with me tend to need support to break out of negative patterns, have a better understanding of themselves, have a need to find purpose in their life, be able to engage and have healthy relationships, and have a desire to achieve a higher quality of life. I enjoy meeting each client where they are at, and together exploring what they enjoy in life to build on their strengths and empower individual mental health wellness. Whatever it is you are dealing with in your life right now, you do not have to go through it alone. I would like to help you, and in our sessions together I will meet you with compassionate perspective and ensure you a non-judgmental experience. Let's work together and get you to your max potential abilities. (I am Spanish speaking as well!)
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I take the time to build rapport, trust, and get to know each individuals needs. I like to ensure we are a match and will always be transparent with my clients and make my clients feel comfortable in feeling the same. En su primer cita, me gusta conocer a cada cliente, saber sus necesidades. Mi meta es saber que tendremos un relacion terapeutica positiva, y que ambos nos sentimos bien en seguir terapia.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I specialized in grief and loss, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Clients who work with me are willing to practice mindfulness and meditation as a tool to their progress.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I personally feel that Mindfulness and Meditation can benefit any individual whether they are dealing with anxiety, depression or just life transitions. It allows for the individual to create space within their inner self for a more clear perspective of their challenges. It is why I tend to introduce and hopefully if willing, incorporate such specialty with each of the treatment methods utilized. Personalmente, creo que la atención plena y la meditación pueden beneficiar a cualquier persona, ya sea que esté lidiando con ansiedad, depresión o simplemente transiciones en la vida. Permite que el individuo cree un espacio dentro de su interior para tener una perspectiva más clara de sus desafíos. Es por eso que tiendo a introducir y, con suerte, si esta dispuesto, incorporar dicha especialidad con cada uno de los métodos de tratamiento utilizados.
