Hi! I’m Maria!

(she/her)

As someone who moved to this country at a young age, I know firsthand what it’s like to go through transitions where you don’t always feel like you belong.

Those experiences have shaped who I am and the way I connect with others.

  • I’m currently a registered intern therapist who completed my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University and my undergraduate degree in Psychology.

  • In the therapy room, I bring warmth, curiosity, and openness to people from all walks of life.

  • l enjoy supporting clients through life transitions, stress, relationships, and those moments where you feel “in between” identities or places.

  • I also offer therapy in Spanish, so clients can express themselves in the language that feels most natural to them.

  • Outside of therapy, I love dancing, trying new restaurants, spending time with my dogs, and being with the people I love. I’m always open to new hobbies, new adventures, and new ways of creating memories and experiences.

Now that you know a bit about me, tell me more about YOU!
