Maria has made me feel more than comfortable to share my experiences with her. She does a great job with making me feel safe talking about my issues and concerns and never pushes me to talk about or do something I am not comfortable with. She is extremely supportive and very reassuring. All around I feel great after speaking with her. She has made me feel very proud of myself for taking the first steps to bettering myself.

More about Maria

  • Female
  • LMFT

Hi! My name is Maria. I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in Minnesota with over 7 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, adjustments in life, and wide ranges of trauma.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach is very integrative pulling from different forms of therapy to fit uniquely to each individual. some common approaches used are: cognitive-behavioral, experiential, using many aspects of play, structural, emotionally focused, and internal family systems. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Maria is such a kind and amazing person. She has helped me think logically through extremely difficult situations, and after my conversations with her, I feel so much more at ease. She has been my therapist for months now and I can't recommend her enough. I've seen so much growth in myself through my sessions with her!

Reviewed September 2021

She is amazing! After 5 min of taking to her I felt completely comfortable with telling her my story. She really listens and picks up on the things you are and are not saying. She challenges me and keeps me accountable with my goals!!
