She’s a good therapist and a really nice therapist she helps me all the time.

I feel comfortable and that is the number 1 goal for me. Maria is very comforting and makes it easy to talk

In the months and weeks that I have reached out and received services with my therapist I have not only gained reassurance but better understanding of my current standing in life. It has been easier to navigate the events happening in my life and has been helpful to untangle my emotional and mental health with their help. I wouldn’t be in the state of healing that I am in now if it weren’t for her.

I have been seeing Maria for only a few sessions and she has already helped me so much. She is very understanding to my phone anxieties and despite the difficulties of text only therapy she has never complained or tried to convince me to use a different method. It's much appreciated and makes me feel like she understands the difficulties I struggle with in a non judgmental way.
