(she/her)
I am an LPC offering therapy to children, teens and adults. I believe it very important to understand how our past shapes and influences our present choices. I believe we see and relate to the world the way we were shaped from an early age. Knowing who we are and how we see and perceive the world helps us understand and relate better to ourselves and others. -
During our initial session the most important part is to discuss the goals for therapy, the approached that will most benefit client and perhaps a safety plan with an emergency contact in case we have an emergency.
I believe my greatest strength is how passionate I am about my profession. I love what I do
I love to work with clients that chose to be in therapy to better understand themselves and the people around them. Clients who are willing to be open and take risks and address difficult subject.

Eclectic
I use many different approaches because I do not believe every person benefits from a "cookie cutter" approach. Life is complex and beautiful at the same time. My eclectic approach is often discuss in our initial session and together with the pt we discussed what is the best approach to use. I often like to visit the past to connect the dots and see where we are in the present moment and see what the person needs most.

Maria is great; well knowing her field, professional, open minded and authentic! Provided excellent and helpful resources for my reading and listening. I immediately was comfortable with Maria to share about myself.

I have previously had her as a therapist before and specifically sought her out because she is a great therapist. She listens very well and is empathetic. She seems to pick up on if you are simply looking for an ear or advice. Some sessions she’ll let me talk and others it is a back and forth conversation about my issues. She is nonjudgmental and supportive, which makes it easier to be more open about where I feel I’ve fallen flat on what I want to accomplish.

Mrs Maria is very understanding and she LISTENS. I would be lost without the working relationship I have with her
