MEET MARITA
My name is Marita and I will be one of your guides on your journey to wellness. I bring more than a decade of clinical expertise with me with experience caring for patients at inpatient psychiatric hospitals, crisis stabilization units, outpatient clinics and community mental health centers.
I’m an expert with psychotropic medications but I believe in partnering with you to create a holistic person centered treatment plan. My plans incorporate complementary and alternative therapies in concert with conventional psychiatry, exercise, and a diet designed for a healthy body and mind. I have a special interest in serving our youth, marginalized and underserved populations, and our Veterans.
Outside of work, I enjoy all things outdoors (hiking, surfing, running, yoga), the sunny San Diego climate, and anything related to the ocean. I believe in smiling and laughing often while also enjoying peace in the quietude.
​
I value creating and maintaining social support systems as well as any permutation of psychologically supportive structures and systems.
