Hi! My name is Maria, I am an LCSW and have been in practice since 2008. In addition to my clinical work, I am also a fourth year doctoral student working towards a doctoral degree in Clinical Neuro Psychology (PsyD). I have had the opportunity to work with a wide spectrum of age ranges and presenting conditions. Specifically, I have experience working with individuals in healthcare settings and addressing issues such as pain management, management of acute and chronic illness, and physiological effects of conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Additionally, I have professional clinical experience working in drug and alcohol treatment facilities, corrections, hospice, and I have extensive experience working with trauma and bereavement issues. I promote a motivational, solution focused, supportive treatment dynamic. In general, I believe that therapy is a journey on which I accompany you as you explore and navigate the difficulties of life; I look forward to meeting you!
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder

Maria is an excellent therapist to talk to. I was highly stressed and going through a difficult period in my life and talking to her was like talking to a friend. She was relatable and had me smiling again in no time. Highly recommended. She is also responsive and communicative.
