Welcome to my world of holistic psychiatry and mental wellness! I’m Maria, a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), dedicated to guiding individuals towards vibrant mental and physical health. I help adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, and other mental disorders to regain their vitality and centeredness, create a better understanding of self, and achieve closer relationships with others. I specialize in working with women facing major life transitions and events such as divorce, adoption, birth, moving, severe illness, and death in the family. While I work with patients of all backgrounds, I am especially equipped to offer culturally competent care to first or second-generation immigrants struggling with issues of acculturation and self-acceptance. I support patients in discovering their self-worth and confidence while fostering a sense of belonging by working through their generational traumas and thought patterns that no longer serve them. My holistic approach to care considers patients’ physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Together, we’ll create personalized treatment plans that may include mindfulness exercises, supplements, medication, therapy, self-care rituals, nutrition protocols, and exercise plans. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: As a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), I take a holistic approach: I consider patients’ physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Together, we create personalized treatment plans that may include mindfulness exercises, supplements, medication, therapy, and lifestyle adjustments. I prioritize overall wellness, not just symptom management. I empower patients to actively participate in their mental and physical health journey. I reject the notion of a “one size fits all” approach to mindcare and wellness. My collaborative, personalized treatment plans are created with respect to your values, concerns, trepidations, and belief systems. Let’s create a personalized action plan as unique as you are!

Is your teen having difficulty navigating stress, conflict, or their identity? As a result, do they often feel alone or misunderstood? The transition into adulthood can be tough, and many teens experience anxiety, confusion, low self-esteem, and challenges in their relationships. It’s normal to be overwhelmed by these emotions and need guidance when establishing lifelong skills for coping and stress management. As a nonjudgemental, strengths-oriented therapist serving teens throughout the Houston area, I aim to create a strong therapeutic relationship that empowers and celebrates each individual throughout the counseling process. While each client receives their own personalized counseling plan, I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques in therapy for teens. By fostering skills for emotional awareness and distress tolerance, these approaches promote resilience, self-compassion, and healthier relationships. I understand the specific pressures teens face, which is why I strive to create a warm therapy environment where issues like stress, anxiety, and relationship conflict can be approached gently yet effectively. With a diverse personal and professional background,I offer a unique perspective that facilitates a holistic sense of self-discovery among my clients.
