Hi there and welcome to the first step in making positive changes in your life. My name is Maria, and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) and I am licensed in Illinois. I have been in a private practice setting since 2015 when I graduated from National Louis University with a masters degree in counseling. I have recently completed the requirements to become a certified trauma treatment practitioner (CTTP) and looking forward to helping clients who have experienced trauma using new in-depth tools to help them through any difficulties they may have.
I truly enjoy working with people and I am dedicated to providing high quality psychological care to my clients and their families. My primary orientations are both person-centered and Adlerian theories, meaning creating safety for my clients while building a relationship; and Adlerian theory is described as a holistic approach, focusing on an individual's whole environment and the effects of each part on their life. I believe in working with clients holistically, each part of your body and mind effects the others. Eating right, exercise, family life, work/life balance, relaxation and self-care. I work with all clients collaboratively to help people achieve their goals and find their place in the world.
I love working with people of all ages and backgrounds. I feel that I have a calling to help people and families who are going through a difficult time find peace in their lives through communication, love and understanding.
I look forward to working with you!

Maria goes above and beyond helping learn how to balance family, friends, and worklife balance along with making time for myself. She provides me great coping suggestions and helps me organize my thoughts when I feel overwhelmed.
