About me

As a Mental Health Counselor with over 23 years of experience, I have worked with individuals with multiple life challenges. I am experienced in providing therapy across various platforms as well as face to face working with depression, anxiety, issues of self-esteem, and lack of confidence issues. I also have experience in assisting clients who are adult survivors of abuse, HIV, and end of life issues as well as grief and those individuals who are going through a serious illness. I have worked extensively with the LGBT community.
As a therapist, my main focus is on helping individuals identify their strengths and promote wellness and understanding that the best is yet to come.

Maria is so patient, supportive, and kind. She has really helped me see what my issues are and guided me to develop solutions. I always feel so much better after talking with her!

She has given me a chance at happiness again. Giving me the tools to help me navigate through one of the toughest times in my life. I owe her so much for your patience, consideration, kindness and most importantly her understanding.

She is so sweet and helps me stay on track to meet my goals. After my appointment, I always feel more positive about my life and the future. She checks on me if I have to cancel my session, and will schedule me a new one if I forget. Her schedule is open and there is no waitlist as far as I can tell.

Maria has been a very strong coach in my corner of the ring of life. She has been very attentive to the things I'm asking for guidance with. She does an amazing job at bringing an out outside view to my problem, then gives me some tips and tricks to help me out in life. I greatly appreciate the support and guidance Maria has brought to my life.
