Hey! I’m Maria, and I’m glad you are here. Maybe you are looking for a therapist because your life looks fine on the outside, but inside you feel stuck, not good enough, or just plain burned out. Perhaps perfectionism, people-pleasing, or low self-esteem are exhausting you. Or big shifts, like menopause, career changes, or trauma, leave you disoriented, dysregulated, and questioning who you are.
Sound familiar? You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
I offer holistic, trauma-informed therapy online across Ontario. Together we can cut through the noise, unpack the shame, and help you reclaim your strength, voice and self-worth.
What if I told you there’s another way? In our custom sessions, we’ll go deep. We can unpack grief, shame, and old patterns. We can connect past to present, nurture self-compassion, regulate your nervous system, and explore Parts and shadow work. Together, we can gently rewrite your story so you can live with more truth, ease, and unapologetic authenticity.
In clinical lingo: I use a trauma-informed and integrative approach that blends psychodynamic, humanistic, Parts Work, somatic, mindfulness, and creative practices to help you reconnect with your inherent worth and wisdom.
If you are ready to feel more grounded, empowered, and whole, let’s talk. Book a free consultation to see if I am the right fit for you.
