Meet Maribel

 

I am currently in my second year of clinical training and have experience working with children and adolescents in school based settings, providing Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) with individuals on the Autism Spectrum, and working with adults in community counseling settings. I work collaboratively with clients and families to support their needs and navigate different psychological stressors including trauma, ADHD, anxiety, grief, and behavioral concerns. I approach treatment from a trauma informed and cognitive behavioral perspective approach, emphasizing empathy, safety, and collaboration to support each client’s overall
well-being.
