LPC, 20 years of experience
My name is Maria. I have been practicing therapy for 20 years. I have worked in a variety of settings such as, a hospital emergency room seeing individuals struggling with mental health issues. I have also work with children and adults. I feel privileged to have you allow me into your life and share your experiences and struggles with me.
Clients will know that they will be respected and never judged. They will know compassion and understanding. I am a "down to earth" type person and will not sugar -coat things to make anyone feel better but I will walk through the hard times with a person because everyone needs to feel important and know that someone cares.....and I do.
I work well with client that are struggling with depression, anxiety, work stress, relationship problems, parent issues, behavioral issues, LGBTQIA community
I am happy to work with all clients of all ages. The youngest person I have seen was 3 years old and the oldest was 99 years old. Everyone needs to be supported, and I am her to help.
