We are all complex individuals, with myriad thoughts, feelings and behaviors that arise from our everyday experiences. The question remains: what will you explore and who will you ask to join you? As a clinical psychologist, I have chosen to specialize in the areas of trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationships and adjustment difficulties. Additionally, I have experience working in the areas of spiritual growth and development, Veterans' reintegration into civilian life, fertility issues and women's post-partum mental health.

You feel like you struggle to stay the course, and yet life continues to shift and change. You are searching for higher ground, but often feel like you are sinking. No matter how hard you dig in, you may have an underlying feeling of fear or uneasiness. Regardless of what you are going through, you put on a mask that speaks differently than how you feel. Some days you walk through the pain, and look for the sunshine, while other days it can feel overcast. Motivation to continue responsibilities is difficult. Self- care is an unfamiliar concept that applies to others, but not for you. Walking through each day feels redundant.

In-person and telehealth available!-Life can feel like a lot at times. We’re constantly juggling responsibilities, relationships, expectations, and somewhere along the way, it’s easy to lose track of ourselves. That’s why I see therapy more than anything as a space where you finally get to focus on you. No pressure to perform. Just space to be yourself, and figure things out.
I'm here to walk alongside you as you navigate whatever’s coming up—whether it’s anxiety, depression, relationship struggles just feeling off and not quite knowing why. Every person is different, and I tailor my approach to fit you, not the other way around.

When we have something traumatic happen in our lives, we do not fully experience it because our bodies are primarily focusing on just enduring and surviving the trauma. Afterwards, we can find ourselves feeling elevated, experiencing repetitive negative thoughts, and just not feeling like ourselves. Whether you’ve experienced trauma, you're tired of revisiting painful memories over and over, or you've found that traditional talk therapy isn't bringing the same progress you once saw, I’m here to help by using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Life in general can be very challenging. Struggles with relationships, life stressors, fear, and self-judgment of not being ‘good enough’ can be difficult to navigate and sometimes we feel as if we can barely keep our heads above water. I know this personally as I’ve felt I was drowning at times myself. But there is a way out. Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings to better understand and find solutions to life’s challenges. My goal as a therapist is to help you feel safe, supported, and seen. Thus, opening the door for you to deeper self-exploration and growth.

Hi, I’m Maria a Licensed Professional Counselor with twenty years of experience, including more than fourteen years supporting military service members and their families. I specialize in working with adults who look put together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck under the surface. Many of my clients are used to carrying everything alone, pushing through stress, and holding themselves to impossible standards. In our work together, we slow things down, make sense of the patterns that keep you tense or on edge, and build tools that actually fit your life.

If you are someone who has spent years struggling in life and relationships and are tired of trying to figure it all out on your own, you're not alone.

There is only one relationship we are guaranteed to have for our entire lives — and that is our relationship to ourselves. I aim to help you make it compassionate and giving, self expressing, and with appropriate boundaries as needed for you to protect your most authentic Self. I believe that all of our behaviors are adaptive; some we’ve just outgrown and they are no longer serving the best interests of our well-being. But they come from an honest place of having to adapt to circumstances which we did not create.
