Hi and welcome. My name is Maria. Change can be overwhelming and sometimes it’s difficult to know where to begin. Do you feel irritable, alone in a crowd, not being able to sleep, and constantly rundown? Is it difficult to get alone with family members and peers? Did you stop telling your friends how your feel for fear of being judge? Are you depressed or anxious? I am a bilingual therapist with over 20 years experience. My experience comes from working in outpatient clinics, psychiatric emergency rooms and inpatient units. My prefer population are young adults and adults of any age. I'll meet you where you are in your life. I will help you move forward and discover your value as a person using evidence-based-techniques. Let's work together, I look forward to hearing from you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I will provide you with coping tools to improve your quality of life from the first session. I will teach you how to discover or rediscover your voice. I will help you understand how the past affects the present but does not define you. I will help you find the best part of you that has remained sleep. I will help you learn how to make the impossible possible by discovering that you are strong and able to do anything you put your mind to do.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I take a holistic approach to therapy using traditional psychotherapy techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I'll will teach you how to meditate and find inner peace.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have over 20 years’ experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults on a variety of issues. I have experience working at a diversity of settings including schools, intensive outpatient, and crisis centers.
