Couples and Individual Therapy in St. Louis

Therapy to help you build the life you want to live.

Life is a bit disappointing.

Whether it is self-esteem, anxiety, OCD, or relational pain, things have gotten pretty tough.

  • Your thoughts are always racing, and the constant overanalyzing is paralyzing. Your sleep, relationships, and happiness have taken a toll.

  • When you start to consider certain events from your past, your heart starts racing. The feelings you've been stuffing feel too terrifying to deal with.

  • You keep having the same fights over and over again, and each time, they get a little worse. You both feel lonely and lost, and you are out of ideas.

I’m maria.

I believe you make sense and I believe things can change.

I love working with individuals and couples who working through anxiety, OCD, and relationship conflict. 

I come from a background with some wacky and dismissive views on mental health, so I know personally some of the obstacles that may be preventing you from the change that you need. Your over-analyzing, intrusive thoughts, conflicted spirituality, and frustrated sexuality are all safe—and belong—in the room with me.

How I can help

I specialize in therapy for lasting change.

  • You've always soothed anxiety with success, but it's not working anymore. Recently, breathing feels like work, and your thoughts are urgently racing each other for your attention. Together, we will face the feelings and pain underneath the anxiety and work towards building a sense of safety you can carry with you always. Learn More

  • The “what-ifs”, intrusive thoughts, and obsessions about contamination or moral failure have become all consuming. And the behaviors you use to make the panic and anxiety go away are time-consuming and sometimes harmful. Together, we will work to understand your particular patterns and regain control over your mind. Learn more.

  • No matter how many times you try to talk about the problem, it keeps getting worse. You feel each other growing apart, and you feel lost and misunderstood. Together, we will work to understand the stories behind the conflict and build intimacy in the relationship. Learn more.
