Are you entering a new stage of life, or thinking of making a major change in your life? Are you unclear about the choices available to you? Are you feeling anxious and stressed out about the changes? Marriage, relationship challenges, divorce, graduation, career change, children leaving home, being a caregiver to parents, retirement, death of a spouse, as well as your own aging are all changes that increase stress and can be anxiety producing. It's much easier going through changes when you have an objective professional who can be your ally, trusted advisor, and guide through the process.

Are you between the ages of 20-50 and struggling with the weight of complex trauma? You are not alone, and healing is possible. My name is Maria, and I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a powerful and effective approach to addressing complex trauma. Through bilateral stimulation techniques, EMDR helps rewire your brain, allowing you to process and integrate traumatic memories in a way that reduces their emotional charge and impact on your daily life.

It can feel really good to finally get help, and yet, it can still be hard to accept that you deserve it. Wherever you are in this process, I’ll meet you there. I encourage you to come as you are - bring your anxiety, dark humor, skepticism, anger, hopelessness, and questions; we'll take a closer look together. With a collaborative and authentic approach, I'll both challenge you and honor your pace. I’m not a fixer, but I draw from evidence-based and trauma-informed care to help you help yourself.

As much as you've loved each other, your love may have been eroded by the punishing effects of hurtful fights or growing distance. A repeating negative pattern may have come into your life, and may have led to painful disconnection. The enemy is not you or your partner—it is this negative communication pattern that needs to be understood and transformed in order to regain that sense of ease you once had. Making sense of and working through these stuck points can help rekindle love, intimacy, and a deeper connection within yourself and the others in your life. Understanding these patterns benefits Couples and Individuals alike.

We want connection, fulfillment, and happiness. So we try to find it in our work and in other people. When we don't get it, we get stressed and hurt. If we build a strong base of trust, love, and compassion, for ourselves, with all of our imperfections, it will get easier to get what we need from others in a healthy way too. Here are some ways we can do this:

IT TAKES COURAGE to reach out for support and guidance when we feel lost, distressed, confused or uncertain. My goal is to meet you - in whatever emotional state you find yourself - with empathy and acceptance, and provide a safe, caring and consistent therapeutic relationship in which we collaborate on identifying and moving toward the CHANGES AND GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES that matter most to you. I have worked with clients since 2010, tailoring the counseling experience to each individual or couple's unique strengths and needs and drawing from a wide range of psychological theories and healing modalities. My approach is also informed by my PERSONAL EXPERIENCE being treated for major depression and anxiety. NO EMOTIONAL CHALLENGE IS TOO BIG TO WORK ON, and it would be my privilege to accompany you on your journey toward a healthier, more satisfying life.

If things were simple, you wouldn't be here. The complex challenges that bring high-achievers to therapy often exist in the shadow of success—the relentless drive for excellence that never feels enough, the disconnect between professional achievements and personal fulfillment, or the relationships that suffer while careers flourish. I work with accomplished individuals and couples across diverse fields who may appear to have it all while privately navigating difficult terrain. With both personal and professional understanding of high-achievement environments, I offer a unique combination of genuine empathy and practical insight.

I believe therapy is about connection. Therapy is based on the connection with your therapist to create a meaningful, supportive space to explore your most vulnerable emotions. Therapy can help you strengthen your connection with the people in your life in a positive and hopeful way. And most of all, therapy can grow your connection to your most authentic self. Therapy can help guide and support you through times of stress, build communication and interpersonal skills, and develop a deep understanding of who you are and what you want out of life.
