 i'm Maria !

Hello and welcome! Here’s a little background about me before we meet for your free consultation.

​

I hold an undergraduate degree in Social Work from Eastern Washington University and a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from Gonzaga University.

​

From a young age, I knew I wanted to serve others. My passion for supporting women, children, and families began when I started babysitting at the age of 12. Over the years, my knowledge and wisdom have grown through life experiences, professional careers, and higher education, all of which have shaped me into the therapist I am today.

​

I feel incredibly lucky and privileged to have a career that aligns with my passion. Supporting clients on their journeys toward healing and growth is truly a calling I cherish.

​

Outside of being a therapist, I am a proud mother of five and have been happily married for over 17 years. I understand the complexities of balancing family life with personal growth, and I bring that understanding into my practice.

I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your journey toward healing and well-being.
