We’re taught that mental health is about decreasing negative symptoms. We’re “supposed” to be less anxious, less depressed, and less overwhelmed. While that is one part of healing, what’s more important is how you want to feel and what you want to achieve. What would life be like if you could live each day without being held back? What’s the real purpose that you have yet to discover or embrace? I’m here not just to help you heal but to guide you on a journey of self-actualization. Together, we’ll explore the past, heal in the present, and create a plan for the future.

Hello, I am Maritza! Are you looking for a purpose or a sense of direction in your life? Perhaps feeling overwhelmed by your emotions and feeling as if you are unable to make decisions? Therapy can benefit and serve as a powerful strategy to learn tailored tools to help you navigate your emotions and put you back on track. As you may know, life has a way of presenting people with challenges they could have possibly not imagined would have to face. This can lead to anxiety, depression, grief, and ultimately a life transition. I believe that finding our purpose for life, can help us get through our lives.

I enjoy working with those who identify as introverts, people-pleasers, and over-thinkers, because these are also the people whose needs are often overlooked. Whether you are someone who is easily overwhelmed, feels misunderstood, or worries that you're "too sensitive" or "too emotional," my goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can focus on healing, growing, and just being you.

I practice from two different modalities: Reality Therapy and Insight Therapy. Reality Therapy (Choice-Centered approach) helps the patient determine how effective their behaviors have been in fulfilling their needs and then works with the patient to determine a plan for more effective actions. Insight Therapy encourages empowerment of the individual which implies personal responsibility for one's behavior. I specialize in working with patients needing assistance with Anger Management, Marital/Premarital Counseling, Individual/Adolescent Counseling, Loss & Bereavement Recovery, Sexual Addiction/Recovery, Personal Growth & Enrichment, and Divorce Healing. I also possess knowledge in understanding acute mental illness symptoms from my training at Riverside Psyciatric Hospital.

We all carry emotional struggles—some more painful and enduring than others—that shape how we experience the present. At times, our feelings may seem dismissed or misunderstood by others, leaving us in conflict or emotional distress. Healing begins with the courage to look within. With the grace of God and a gradual process of exploring your inner world—particularly the beliefs and experiences that have shaped you—you can begin to understand, heal, and transform. This journey can lead to deeper relationships, greater self-acceptance, and renewed emotional well-being.
