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.

Amazing, wonderful, spectacular.

I like this app. However, that is most likely due to being matched with Maricruz.
She is truly an amazing therapist. Well spoken, understanding, knowledgeable, respectful, personable. Therapy can be an uncomfortable thing; Maricruz takes that discomfort out of it. She seems almost overqualified for this… however I believe that shows how much she actually truly cares about her patients, but also her studies. I don’t believe that this is “just a job” for her. This is part of her actual life, a part of her own self. That is why she is so good at it.
Without her I probably would not have continued therapy, with her I have begun to change my life’s direction in a positive way.
I owe her a lot. My only regret is that our sessions are virtual because I would like to give her a big hug.

In the short amount of time I've been working with my therapist, I've been able to see myself in a way I could never do before. Each time I speak with her, my level of confidence increases. I am learning how to navigate through all of the challenges I face and that is certainly because of Mari. Thank you for all that you continue to teach me!!!!!!
