LMFT, 22 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Southern California. I am bilingual in Spanish and have over 20 years experience working with individuals and families helping them heal and grown. I have worked with adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, career stress, and burnout become the best versions of themselves. I see people virtually and have limited availability for in person appointments in Simi Valley, CA.
During our first session, I will gather information about the client and establish the relationship. We will begin to set goals to begin the path towards healing.
Along with providing therapy, I am a County Behavioral Health Manager and a clinical supervisor. I have training in cognitive behavioral health therapy and other evidence based practice to help clients manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
I enjoy working with clients who are wanting to explore ways to decrease burn out and manage their anxiety. I have worked with individuals and families to work through trauma and stressful situations.
It's most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for other mental and physical health problems.

Maria has helped me process deeply held beliefs and emotions that I didn't even know were affecting me. She's been kind, compassionate, and empowering in all our sessions and I'm truly appreciative to have her support and guidance on this healing journey.
