My Approach to Helping

Hello, I'm Maria, a marriage and family therapist trained to help you and your relationships thrive. I have 20 years of experience in helping people heal both individually and relationally and I love what I do. I graduated from Virginia Tech, where there was an on-site clinic and the best training for resident students. My approach is through a systemic and attachment perspective. I specialize in marriage and couples counseling, and have advanced training in emotion focused therapy, which is recognized as one of the most effective approaches to resolving relational distress. I also work with families and individuals to help reach the goals you want for yourself so that you can achieve inner healing, process attachment wounds and learn how to live a healed and prosperous life. I am also trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, emotions focused individual therapy, and internal family systems. I am a board-approved clinical supervisor and I help other therapists on their journey of becoming a professional, clinical therapist. I understand how difficult reaching out for help can be and how hopeless or fearful you can be. Help is here. Reach out for a free consultation to see if I'm the right fit for you. I can't wait to meet you!

More Info About My Practice

I see clients virtually using telehealth, but don't worry, it has proven to be just as effective in most cases, as in-person therapy! I do not take insurance but will give you all the necessary paperwork that you need for reimbursement. I usually see clients between the hours of 9 am- 5:30 pm. I provide flexibility in scheduling if you need it!

My Role as a Therapist

My job as a therapist is to help you navigate and process emotional and relational challenges. My primary goal is to help you establish an emotionally safe relationship with your partner\family and promote emotional well being. I facilitate communication by guiding you in developing a healthier communication pattern as you begin to understand behaviors, reactions and emotions that are driving an unhealthy dynamic. I help clients regulate emotions, promote and develop greater self awareness and emotional intelligence, address trauma, develop empathy, and foster greater emotional intimacy and mutual respect that leads to stronger relationship. One that feel connected and more fulfilling. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space, where we collaborate together towards your goals.
