Women In balance
Counseling Services
Maria is a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Certified Case Manager and has been practicing as a clinician in a variety of clinical settings for 20 years.
She works with individuals across the lifespan, though she has a special passion for supporting adult women as they navigate life’s transitions and challenges.
Her specialties include depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship difficulties, life coaching, and health and wellness. She brings a strong problem-solving orientation to her work and has a proven ability to ideate and implement effective clinical programs tailored to the unique needs of each client.
Maria creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. She welcomes her clients with open arms, walking beside them through both the good times and the hard ones. Maria listens to understand—not just to respond—and she approaches every session with empathy, compassion, and deep respect for each person’s individual journey.
Often, we get so caught up in the stress of life that we forget to actually live it. Maria helps clients reconnect with themselves and rediscover joy, purpose, and clarity. She believes counseling is more than just showing up and listening—it's about building a relationship rooted in trust, collaboration, and growth.
She does not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Drawing from a wide range of therapeutic modalities, Maria tailors treatment to meet each client where they are. Together, we work to ensure their goals align with creating the most empowered and authentic version of themselves. She is committed to lifelong learning and discovery—both for herself and for the people she works with.
