HI, I’M MARIA!
With 24 years of experience as a Licensed Psychotherapist and Life Coach, I’m passionate about providing the right support and resources to help a person heal themselves. I value a strong attachment with each client so they feel safe and secure in the process. My holistic approach addresses the mind, body, and spirit to support health and healing with multiple trauma and integrative training modalities.
MY APPROACH
Personalized, HOLISTIC, ATTACHED
My approach draws from my extensive experience; specializing in supporting Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and empaths, offering a safe space to explore and grow. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, or the aftermath of trauma, know that you're not alone—from intimate partnerships and parent-child interactions to friendships. The base of my work is attachment therapy, as I believe that every person that didn’t receive the attunement and support needed in childhood, needs a reparative relationship in order to form healthy and secure attachments with other people in their lives.
I am trained and utilize EMDR, brainspotting, somatic therapy, IFS (Internal Family Systems), hypnotherapy, psychodynamic, object relations and integrate multiple other modalities with clients depending on what they need. My training in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and psychedelic integration adds another dimension to my therapeutic toolbox. This evidence-based treatment offers a pathway for clients feeling ensnared in trauma or entrenched patterns, providing an avenue for profound breakthroughs.
Our therapeutic journey together enables us to collaborate and explore, paving the way for transformative change to unfold.
