Hi I’m Maria, I am a registered MFT Intern with specialization in children and adolescents. I love helping parents as well. My decades of experience teaching and working with children and their caregivers is built on my love and dedication to seeing all be emotionally whole & successful. Read more about me in my bio below.

A retired teacher of 23 years. I taught in the private sector 14 years and Orange County public schools for 9 years. I currently hold my Florida teachers’ certificate for ages 3-3rd grade with endorsements in ESE (Exceptional student education) ESOL (English as a 2nd language). I love helping children of all ages. Prior to teaching, I ran my own family daycare home for 5 years, obtained my Child Development associate’s degree and Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten certificate (VPK certificate). I hold many certifications from DCF (Department of Children and Families) pertaining to children & appropriate practices. I was also a certified Infant and Toddler Developmental Specialist (ITDS) who worked with infants to age 3 and their caregivers through Central Florida Early Steps. love helping parents and working with kids of all ages and stages! Children do not come with handbooks and the challenges they face do not come in a neat parenting handbook. They are all unique, as are their needs. I would love to help you and your child! I support clients who are in Florida. As a master's-level registered intern, I work under the direct supervision of Dr. Tea.
