About Maria

Hello! I’m Maria and I am passionate about helping people foster a deeper mind, body and soul connection on their path toward healing. I specialize in bridging holistic wellness with traditional psychotherapy.

I am a trauma informed therapist trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I am also trained in many spiritual modalities including reiki, sound healing and mindfulness practices which I infuse into my work with adolescents. I use a soul-based approach to regulate emotional skills and increase self-esteem, confidence and social skills as they navigate daily life. In addition to private practice, I also work for a non-profit organization providing group therapy services for people diagnosed with severe mental illness. My work in this field has prepared me to work with individuals on issues such as OCD, anxiety, depression and life transition, as well as working with couples and families.

My goal is to create a trusting relationship that will allow you to feel safe to open up and explore your emotions, thoughts and difficulties freely. Together we can implement strategies that clinically decrease symptoms, increase self-awareness, and encourage you to protect your peace, cultivate joy, and embrace self-love to uncover who you truly are at your core.
