Hi there! I’m Maria!

As a therapist, I’m deeply rooted in the principles of humanistic and existential therapies. My mission is to guide individuals toward self-discovery, personal growth, and becoming their most authentic selves. I earned my Master’s in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy from George Fox University in 2024 and hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Oregon State University.

Originally from northern Utah, I relocated to the Pacific Northwest in 2016 and found my home in Oregon in 2017. I worked with new adults and teenagers during this time, realizing that many would greatly benefit from a non-judgmental space to process their experiences.

I am passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and young adults on their healing journeys. I deeply understand the challenges they face and my goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their experiences and work toward self-discovery. By integrating various therapeutic modalities, I tailor my approach to meet their unique needs and goals. It’s a privilege to walk alongside others on their path to healing and resilience.
