Hello, my name is Maritza! My journey in psychology began in high school when I discovered my passion for helping others and empowering people to make positive changes in their lives. I’m passionate about understanding the deep connection between our body, mind, and soul, and I strive to help my clients find balance in these areas to live authentically.

​

Supporting the Coachella Valley community is important to me. I believe in the power of being heard, seen, and validated. My approach is warm and compassionate, focusing on issues like anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, and communication. I’m faith-based, patient, and driven, and I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey to healing.

​

To anyone hesitant about seeking help, I understand the fear—I felt it too when I started my own therapy journey. It took me a couple of tries to really begin my own healing journey and that is okay. Everyone is on their own path of healing, remember to not give up on yourself and give yourself grace when you need it.

 

My therapeutic approach is CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focus. Mostly would say I am eclectic and like to incorporate different therapeutic methods that work for my client’s needs.

​

ABOUT ME: I enjoy spending time with family and friends on my days off while eating good food and having long chats. I enjoy drinking a good cafecito while doing some retail therapy. Lastly, my guilty pleasure is watching crime shows or reading crime novels.
