About me

Hi, I'm Maria.

I know how daunting it can feel to reach out for therapy. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, low mood, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, trauma, or supporting a young person through a hard time, you don't have to carry it on your own.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and my approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. My aim is to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard and understood. Together, we can begin to make sense of your experiences, explore new ways of coping, and move towards a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

I draw on evidence-based therapies such as CBT, ACT, DBT, compassion-focused and psychodynamic approaches, but I adapt what I use depending on your unique needs. With younger clients, I often bring creativity through play, art, or stories, and I involve families when helpful. With adults, I place a strong emphasis on building a trusting relationship and working at a pace that feels right for you.

What you can expect from me is kindness, curiosity, and respect. I will listen without judgment and support you in identifying what really matters to you. Therapy can sometimes feel challenging and sometimes hopeful�both are part of the process, and we'll navigate that together.

I also work in both English and Spanish and value cultural awareness in therapy. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and identities.

If you're curious about starting therapy, I offer an initial consultation so you can get a feel for whether working together feels right for you.

I'm working with clients online and in my private practice room in N8
