Maria is an art therapist intern at Ellie. Whether doing Art Therapy or more traditional talk therapy, she believes that people need a dose of creativity and compassion to move through the hard parts of life. Their approach is rooted in creating a supportive space where you can explore your emotions, build resilience, and connect to yourself and others. Maria strives to always encourage clients, allowing for their unique selves to be validated and understood.
When she isn’t working, you can find her creating art, cuddling with her two cats, and exploring her neighborhood and local parks.
