Hello, Welcome to Grow! As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my desire is to help my clients learn to help themselves through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). During my long term practice I have learned that my clients ability to understand their cognitive behaviors and how these interact with their emotions is key to discovering and changing their lives. Catch it! Check it! Change it!

Get to know me

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

Our first session is our most important session. Is when we determine if we are a good fit. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy will be explained and a recommendation will be made.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I am fortunate to witness the transformation after only a few sessions. When we are able to explore through individual therapy our thoughts, emotions and behaviors we can understand our place in the "Cognitive Triangle". As the client understands this interplay, our reasoning identifies with a different perspective.

She heard me out on my concerns for an ADHD evaluation, which is something I really wanted for months now, and I feel like I am finally making progress.

When I read her bio, I felt like "yeah, she would probably 'get' me", and she has. She makes me feel seen, important, valued, heard. She speaks to me like I matter and in a way I can really connect with. I appreciate the honesty and authenticity she brings to every session. She makes me feel not alone. She sees me as a person, an individual, a spirit. Time spent with Maria is uplifting and insightful, allowing me always to strive for that inner peace and self-love.
