My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I use ACT as a treatment modality to help you focus on your goals and values. ACT uses evidence-based approaches to help you solidify a sense of self and personal purpose. I strive to help you build your self-esteem and navigate your inner compass.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT as an effective evidence-based treatment to challenge your thoughts and help you modify behaviors that may be causing you distress. CBT is an effective tool to facilitate transformation, and is a powerful means of gently starting to incite change in your life

She is one of the best therapist I have ever had. She calls you out and pushes you to the core. My partner and I love this. Compassionate, yet knowledgeable.

I felt very heard and supported just from the first session. This was very encouraging because everyone hears the horror stories about getting paired up with the wrong therapist, so meeting and getting started with Maria makes me feel incredibly lucky and taken care of.

This was my first session and I put what I wanted from this session on the intake and she understood what I asked and is working with me on this.
