Maritza Marquina
She/Her/Hers
Maritza
is a therapist at Two Chairs.
Maritza enjoys exploring people's thought landscapes and feelings and collaboratively identifying sources of healing and joy with her clients. She approaches clients with humility and a deep respect for their personal life expertise while also gently challenging thoughts that may be rooted in trauma and past pain. Her focus is to help clients find healthy and fulfilling experiences that they may not notice and to discover new sources of happiness and peace.
When not in therapy, Maritza enjoys quality time with her family, community and her adorable dog Pearly. She also enjoys movement, true crime and scenic drives.
