Meet Maria…

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with over 10 years of work experience at several Binghamton area healthcare and nonproft organizatons.

I have a flexible approach to counseling where we find what methods are most beneficial to you, given your particular life challenges. I believe counseling is an opportunity to work together in identifying the strengths we have, the skills we can develop, and learn how to implement these into our daily lives in ways that help us grow and work towards our goals.

I primarily utilize elements of strengths-based, CBT, DBT, solution-focused, trauma-informed care to best support your needs. I am highly adaptable in my style of practice, understanding that each person I work with is unique and able to benefit from an individualized approach.

I incorporate a variety of techniques including (but not limited to) mindfulness, grounding, meditation, or therapeutic creative expression through writing and/or mixed-media art.
