Hello, Welcome to Grow!  As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my desire is to help my clients learn to help themselves through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).  During my long term practice I have learned that my clients ability to understand their cognitive behaviors and how these interact with their emotions is key to discovering and changing their lives. Catch it! Check it! Change it!

Golden Rule

Aetna

I felt very safe to talk to her. She gave me peace.

She actually cares. Mother figure. “Everything is going to be ok”
Don’t underestimate this lady. 

I will be honest, at first, I thought hmm I really don't think I am going to vibe well with her. But honestly, I realized she is EXACTLY what everyone needs in a therapist. Direct, honest, and give a thorough explanation into her insights about treatment that will help you most. Highly recommend. Sometimes the uncomfortable is better, just saying.

her approach was very soft and kind. I need to feel like I’m talking to someone who can understand my pov and maybe struggles I might have. And she did exactly that, no judgement just straight with hearing me and already getting me the help I feel I need! 

If you want actual help then see her. If you’re looking for someone to co-sign your BS. She won’t.

Felt uncomfortable as soon as I met this provider. Workspace dark, and didn’t seem very welcoming. Felt uncomfortable and ended session immediately 

She heard me out on my concerns for an ADHD evaluation, which is something I really wanted for months now, and I feel like I am finally making progress.

I like her solution oriented and very intelligent and looking at all venues for my mental health 

When I read her bio, I felt like "yeah, she would probably 'get' me", and she has. She makes me feel seen, important, valued, heard. She speaks to me like I matter and in a way I can really connect with. I appreciate the honesty and authenticity she brings to every session. She makes me feel not alone. She sees me as a person, an individual, a spirit. Time spent with Maria is uplifting and insightful, allowing me always to strive for that inner peace and self-love. 

First time in 2 decades i felt hope and it was only one meeting

She gave me a chance to give therapy a try

Thank you for ur help and direction hope to see where our paths lead God Bless
