Hi there, I'm Maria!

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure everything out on your own. As a therapist, I offer a space where you can slow down, process what you’re going through, and begin to feel more grounded and full in your real identity.

My focus

Struggling with balancing life or feeling unfulfilled in general, despite your efforts? I work with people who experience challenges with feeling a sense of fulfilment. Together, we will explore different areas in your life, finding solutions and learning coping skills, and identify the purpose of your life!

My approach

I use a holistic approach when providing care, often taking a look at your profession, health, nutrition, relationships, and strengths/hobbies. If applicable, I also integrate your faith as a strength to be used in your progress towards goals.
