About me

I am an LPCC in California. I graduated with my Master's degree from Capella University and have been working with clients for 10 years. I have experience with many populations, from inpatient hospitalization, to burnout, depression/anxiety, and ADHD. These experiences have given me a wealth of knowledge, sympathy, and tools to help my clients move toward a life they love living.

Get to know me

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

During our first session, we will take a moment to learn a bit about each other. This is an interview process for both of us. I will ask a lot of questions, which might be uncomfortable at first, but help me see where we can be most effective working together. I welcome your curiosity in return, and understand you are the expert in your own life and experience. From there we will create a plan together that addresses your reasons for seeking therapy.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength as a provider is my ability to cut through the distractions of your life to see the pieces that will get us moving forward. I believe you are capable of achieving all of your goals, and I will support you in managing fears, hopes, and life events along the way.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have experience in working with patients with mood disorders, depression/anxiety, and ADHD. If you are goal-directed, and ready to work on creating a life that feels healthy and productive inside and out, you are my dream client. The clients I work with have the drive to create sustainable change in their life, but don't yet have the tools. I am especially effective with short-term, goal-directed therapies to get your life back on track, and you back to the things that bring you joy.

She is trauma trained, and I know that is what I need. Maria did not appear overwhelmed and was able to listen and offer an authentic ear.

Maria is so knowledgeable about ADHD. I felt seen for the first time, after years of feeling gaslit, and even of gaslighting myself. She gently and empathetically offered practical solutions that have the potential to help a lot. I look forward to working with her and I'm feeling grateful.
