Accepting new patient in WA, OR, and NM. Do you feel that things just cannot continue this way? Is it becoming harder and harder to get up every day? Some say life is a journey rather than a destination, and for many, the road gets muddy, the sky darkens, and it’s easy to get lost, making it seem impossible to get where you’re trying to go. Are you ready to make a change? Shifting perspective can be a game changer. When I work in partnership with clients, my goal as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner is to assist them on this difficult but rewarding journey. I offer a personalized approach to the diagnosis and treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychotic disturbances, and other disorders.

By managing your mood and correcting unhelpful patterns, we can set you on a brighter and greener pathway together.

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!

You want to be confident and self-assured but deep down you are struggling to know who you really are any more and worry that you’ve waited too long to find out. You may be fed up with your life not looking like you imagined, feeling like a shell of yourself that you no longer recognize, or locked in a cycle of shame that you can’t seem to shake loose. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to stop second-guessing yourself. You’re ready to gain self-confidence. Most of all, you’re ready to be bold, love yourself, and your life. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who “gets” self-doubt because therapy should be a place where you feel seen and supported. Sessions with me are filled with creativity. Together, we transform your inner dialog so you can love yourself and your choices. And we always go at your pace, never pushing to a place you don’t feel ready to be. As an experienced women’s therapist, I believe that creativity can help unlock blocks that hold you back so you can finally find the confidence to be the person you were meant to be. You don’t have to continue being paralyzed by self-doubt, and you don’t have to do it alone. Call me today for a free 15-minute consult call. I can’t wait to hear from you.
