LCSW, 12 years of experience
Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of diverse experience and I continue to evolve in new treatment models. I have worked with individuals, families, and couples alike. I have specialized training in depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and women's issues. In my approach to individual therapy, I utilize treatment methods such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused and Strength Perspectives.
In our first session, you will learn more about me as a therapist and my style. I will provide a brief introduction about myself and will ask for the same. During the session, we will dive into why you booked the appointment. I will ask you about goals and expectations for therapy.
I believe in building individuals gradually by offering a safe space as they enter a judgment-free zone. I want to know more about you, and I also want you to know me better. If I seem like a good match for you, I encourage you to believe that one step further and get started with your therapy with me.
As a therapist, I create a warm, supportive, compassionate environment in sessions for my adults. Everyone needs a safe place with no judgment zone. I provide supportive, motivational, professional, and encouraging therapy to help and guide you to live your life better.
In individual therapy sessions, the client and I work one-on-one to set and achieve treatment goals, address specific behavioral patterns, and learn new coping skills.
I work with clients to understand their specific concerns, symptoms, and goals for therapy. I use assessment tools to gather information about the client's thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and underlying beliefs.

From our first session Marita made me feel comfortable and most importantly, safe. She's so warm & welcoming. Questions are asked which helps me think and brings me awareness on what I need to do as I navigate this thing called life. Talking to her is my safe place where I don't feel judged and I'm given patience and understanding. I'm so thankful that I found her. She truly has a gift!

I feel like I can open up about everything and anything with her, she is such a perfect fit for me! Not once have I felt judged or embarrassed. Marita has helped me recognize signs of PTSD which is something I never thought I could have. I am beyond grateful for her!

I loved that she and I have similar backgrounds so it makes it easy to share.
