Community Focused Counseling

  • I understand that within the Latinx and Spanish-speaking communities, there are unique challenges, such as navigating cultural expectations, dealing with language barriers, and facing issues related to immigration and identity. I'm here to provide support that honors your diverse experiences, whether you're grappling with generational differences, maintaining cultural traditions, or finding your place in a new environment

  • I recognize the unique challenges within LGBT+ communities, including the journey of self-discovery, the complexities of coming out, navigating discrimination, and finding acceptance both within and outside the community. Whether you're facing issues related to identity, relationships, or mental health, I’m here to provide support with pride and understanding tailored to your specific experiences.

  • I understand that within BIPOC communities, there are distinct challenges, such as confronting systemic racism, dealing with cultural stereotypes, and navigating the intersection of race, ethnicity, and other identities. Whether you’re facing racial trauma, balancing cultural expectations, or seeking to reclaim and celebrate your heritage, I’m here to provide a safe and supportive space to address these complex issues.

“María listens to me and helps me move forward; she motivates me and helps me see things from a different perspective. I love her therapy sessions; every time I finish talking with her, I feel at peace. She provides me with powerful tools to try to overcome all the traumas in my life. Currently, she is the help I need every two weeks; she is that person who listens to me and motivates me to stay strong and hopeful in the face of the adversities of a life that has been hard for me for these 38 years. She knows how to do it! Her words and advice encourage me; that hour of therapy with her is magical. She has a pretty challenging job with me because I've been through so much, but in that, she is the best!!!”

“I cannot express how grateful I am for Maria. She has a unique ability to help make connections in your brain that seem so obvious but also profound. I would be embarrassed to say how many counselors I saw prior to maria. They were all great but my experience with Maria has been truly groundbreaking for me, both mentally and emotionally. She is a walking, talking safe space.”
