My Name is Maritza

My passion is guiding clients to rediscover their authentic selves, embracing their humanity, and reconnecting with their ancestors, nature, and love.

During my journey to become a therapist at Vanderbilt University, I immersed myself in countless trainings to refine my skills. However, my true therapeutic approach flourished when I delved into my internal family system, embracing growth and healing as an integral part of my path. Internal Family Systems (IFS) became a revelation, equipping me with the tools to rediscover my authentic self and explore the intricate system within. Direct training from Richard Schwartz, the visionary behind IFS, led me to become the sole bicultural certified IFS therapist in Nashville.

Witnessing the profound impact of Somatic IFS as my clients embarked on their healing journeys, I collaborated closely with Susan McConnell, the visionary behind Somatic IFS. This transformative healing, rooted in the body's wisdom, offered a sustainable and liberating path to freedom. Healing is dynamic, not always linear nor bound by a destination. Instead, it uncovers our capacity to embrace life's ebbs and flows, fostering profound transformation and an authentic sense of liberation.
