Welcome!

My name is Maria, and I am a licensed clinical social worker. Thank you for stopping by my page, and I applaud you on this courageous journey you have started.  It is not easy to admit that you might need some help, and then to go a step further and actually action it!  I am a big believer in therapeutic fit.  I would love the opportunity to get to know you and see if Iā€™m the right person to help you achieve your therapeutic goals.  

Growing up as an Army Brat and then training in the Bronx & with the Army, I have been exposed to a multitude of cultures and experiences.  I have witnessed the undeniable sheer will that humans have to survive, adapt, and overcome.  This is what I specialize in - treating human trauma and empowering my clients to surpass surviving and achieve thriving in their environment.  I do believe in utilizing evidence-based treatment, along with other holistic therapies to empower growth and achieve whole-person healing.
