Insurances Accepted:
Hi, I’m Maria, a licensed clinical psychologist committed to supporting adults through complex emotional challenges. I work with individuals facing depression, anxiety, and self-harm. I also specialize in helping neurodivergent clients, including those with Autism and ADHD, build emotional balance and improve quality of life.
My approach is collaborative, flexible, and tailored to your needs. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness practices to help you manage emotions and build healthier patterns. For trauma, I offer Prolonged Exposure (PE) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), creating a space that’s safe, supportive, and focused on meaningful change.
I earned my doctorate from Carlos Albizu University in Puerto Rico. My training includes DBT and trauma-focused work at Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health. I’m passionate about making therapy effective and accessible for all identities. If you’re seeking compassionate, culturally sensitive care, I’d love to connect and begin this journey with you!
