Hi there, I'm Maricela! Welcome/Bienvenido. Beginning therapy is a courageous step, especially when carrying the weight of trauma, painful experiences, or difficult life transitions. In my practice, I hold space with deep respect for your resilience and humanity. You are not defined by your trauma or challenges—you are a whole person with strengths, hopes, and a story that matters. Together, we will create a safe environment where healing, self-understanding, and growth can unfold at your pace. My work is trauma-focused and client-centered, grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your own life.
Our goals are shaped by you. Some people come wanting relief from distressing symptoms, while others are seeking deeper healing, greater self-acceptance, or improved relationships. In trauma work, goals often include regaining a sense of safety, reclaiming your voice, and reconnecting with your strengths.
I bring warmth, presence, and attunement to our work. You can expect me to listen deeply, reflect compassionately, and respond with honesty and care. My communication style is collaborative—I check in with you often, move at a pace that feels safe, and invite feedback so our work stays aligned with your needs.
