As a LICSW, I have years of experience working in a multidisciplinary and multicultural team to provide quality integrated care to adult clients with complex medical and psychiatric needs. After my sabbatical year, renewed and refreshed I felt drawn to continue my clinical practice in the spirit of compassion embraced at Maria Droste Counseling Services.

I work in the spirit of Motivational Interviewing, where safety, partnership, acceptance, compassion and the belief that together we will find what you need to realize your desired change are guiding principles. Using a client centered approach, I utilize mixed modalities to address limiting beliefs to improve capacity to manage distressing symptoms and increase self-efficacy.
