More about Maria

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW-C, LICSW

I specialize in helping people treat and cope with trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, body image, attachment issues, and relationship challenges. Whether you're facing grief, loss, or a major life transition, my goal is to provide a warm, nonjudgemental space where you can explore your emotions, identify triggers, build resilience, and find clarity.

I am bilingual in Spanish, and I incorporate culture in my approach to therapy. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults in community health clinics, school settings, and virtually.

My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to do therapy requires vulnerability and courage. It will be an honor to support you in this journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
