About me

Welcome! I am glad that you are here taking a step towards change. I appreciate the opportunity to introduce myself. I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than twenty years of experience. I graduated from the University of Southern California. I have worked in a wide range of areas supporting POC and the queer community. I have helped clients manage and cope with challenging emotional issues, life transitions, and relationship problems. I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

If this is your first time trying therapy, you will soon realize that you are simply having a conversation with a person that knows how to listen and wants to get to know you. I will help you share your concerns and identify areas that you believe need change.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am a strong supporter of communities of color and minorities. I bring together the experience of working in forensics, HIV health, and the LGBTQ community.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I greatly enjoy working and have experience treating adult clients of diverse social backgrounds and ages. I have been supportive of minorities such as POC and LGBTQ. As a Latin X provider, I am able to provide culturally sensitive treatment to Spanish speaking clients.

Ms. Herrera deeply considered what I shared with her and what I have tried in the past, and suggested tools to support me without pressure or judgement.

I am happy that I selected Maria. It feels natural to talk to her in both languages. She makes me feel comfortable. I look forward to the following session.
