With a specialized focus on psychopharmacology, Maria provides comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, accurate diagnoses, and evidence-based medication management for individuals across the lifespan.

Maria treats a wide range of mental health conditions, including bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, ADHD, and other psychiatric disorders. Her approach emphasizes thorough assessments and a strong commitment to patient education, ensuring clients understand their medication options and are actively involved in their treatment plans.

A Cape Cod native, Maria holds a Bachelor’s degree from Smith College and earned her Master’s in Nursing from Columbia University, where she specialized in adult and child psychiatry. She later expanded her clinical expertise while working in California and Baltimore, MD, where she obtained a post-master’s certification in Acute Care from the University of Maryland. Her diverse background includes working in outpatient psychiatry, emergency medicine, partial hospitalization programs, and consultation-liaison psychiatry.

Maria’s rich clinical experience enables her to view each patient holistically, considering both mental and physical health needs. She is passionate about fostering collaborative, patient-centered care within the supportive environment of The Healing Space.

When not in practice, Maria enjoys giving back to her community through volunteer work with local organizations on Cape Cod.
