More about Maria

- 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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
