Chat with me

Hello! My name is Maria De La Cruz. I was born and raised in Stockton, CA and I have been a therapist working with children and adolescents for about 9 years. I love working for a school district and getting to see students overcome challenges, break through generational cycles, be the best version of themselves and graduate! A little bit about myself, I love to travel with my husband and see the places you read about in books and watch in the movies! In my free time, my self-care consists of CrossFit, cuddles with my dog Bentley, and binge-watching Netflix with a bag of hot Cheetos.
