My work is deeply rooted in social justice, sex-positivity, the mind-body connection, and collective liberation. Therapy with me is collaborative, culturally-rooted, and deeply affirming. I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to walk beside you.

Honor all parts of you - even the shadows. Whether you're navigating pleasure, sex, shame, relationships, rage, grief, identity, or intimacy, I am ready to swim alongside you, no matter how turbulent the waters.

"Not your average cardigan wearing therapist." Humor, empathy, nonjudgment, and deep curiosity are values Maria brings to sessions.

Consider themselves rebels with big feelings. I specialize in working with people who are "too much," "too angry," or "too emotional" (spoiler alert: you are not!). And I specialize in the taboo topics many therapists are afraid to touch.

I didn't see any mental health professionals that looked like me growing up. I used to believe therapy was only for the privileged.

I am a queer, neurodivergent, first-generation Filipinx psychotherapist who thrives in the fringe corners of mental health: sex/kink-affirming care, couple's therapy, decolonization, shadow work, and relational healing.
