English/Inglés Hey, my name is Maria. A little bit about me. I am the daughter of immigrant parents, who were migrant workers. I was born and raised in Washington State. I am a licensed therapist in Washington State, with 10 years experience providing therapy in English and Spanish. As a therapist, my goal is to provide affordable mental health therapy. My counseling style is strengths-based and person centered, which means I see you as the expert of your life. I partner with you through your healing journey towards joy and freedom. I believe in treating you with respect, sensitivity, inclusivity and compassion. My therapy approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy to accomplish your therapy goals. I tailor therapy to meet your unique and specific needs.
