About me
As hard as we try, sometimes it's not possible to move beyond trauma, bad relationships or grief without the right support. You might find yourself not sleeping or feeling anxious and depressed. You might have trouble with low confidence or self-judgment. This can seep into other areas of your life, such as relationships or how you feel about your weight or appearance. I help people who are overwhelmed by life but are ready to heal and make changes for the future. Perhaps it’s time for you to create a life full of joy, fulfillment, purpose and self-love.
I’m committed to helping you decrease symptoms, while also building long-lasting skills. I offer effective techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), depending on your needs. I also take a new approach to weight, believing that you can learn to be healthy and happy at any size.
Others describe me as nonjudgmental, supportive and cheerful. My goal is to help you achieve yours, whatever they may be. I’ve had clients who’ve gone back to school, gotten promotions and changed their outlook on life. You can learn to believe in yourself and feel good about the future. Contact me to set up a free consultation and begin your journey.

Mari is someone that has become a key partner in my journey towards becoming a more whole and accepting person. She is simply marvelous and I am fortunate to have found her. Her direct, clear and unapologetic input has brought me closer to my goals for mental wellness. A journey I started back in 1998, it is hard to find a person to connect with and Mari is the one for me! I feel so grateful.

Maria is a phenomenal therapist who has helped me recognize the unhealthy behaviors I have and how to change my thoughts so that I can cope and become the person I strive to be. I am now able to think more clearly and feel better about myself. I am able to make better decisions and improve my confidence all while finally learning how to relieve and deal with my stress and anxiety.

I’ve loved my experience with Maricruz. She makes me feel comfortable opening up, and inspires me to share freely. This was my first time doing therapy and she has made the experience a really pleasant one. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking to embark on a therapy journey.

We have just recently met via video call, but it has been a wonderful and seamless experience this far.
