Therapy is a place to find clarity, to reconnect with what matters most, and to move forward with strength and hope.
My services
At the heart of my practice is a belief that healing happens in relationship. I work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families — creating space for shared understanding, insight, and meaningful change.
-
Rebuild trust. Deepen communication. Strengthen your relationships.
Relationships are at the core of our emotional wellbeing — and they can be both beautiful and challenging. Family and couples therapy offers a safe, collaborative space to explore conflict, improve communication, and rebuild connection. Whether you’re navigating long-standing patterns, intimacy concerns, or big life transitions, I support families and partners to move forward with empathy, insight, and care.
-
Explore your patterns. Reconnect with yourself. Create healthier relationships.
The relationships we hold — with others and with ourselves — shape our lives. In individual therapy, I help you explore challenges in your personal, romantic, or family relationships with compassion and curiosity. Together, we’ll work towards greater self-awareness, heal old wounds, and create new ways of connecting that feels grounded, secure, and true to who you are.
-
Gentle, compassionate support through all forms of loss.
Grief is not linear — it looks different for everyone. Whether you’re mourning the death of a loved one, navigating anticipatory grief, or adjusting to major life changes, I offer a safe space to process your emotions and honour your experience. With a trauma-informed and deeply human approach, I help individuals and families find steadiness, resilience, and meaning in the midst of loss.
-
Individuals. Couples. Families. Teenagers.
I work with people navigating a wide range of relational and emotional challenges — across all stages of life. Whether you’re seeking support as an individual, a couple, or a family, I offer a compassionate space to be heard, understood, and supported.
I also have experience working with teenagers (13+), helping them navigate identity, relationships, and the emotional ups and downs of adolescence.
No matter who you are or where you’re starting from, Maria’s approach is grounded in respect, collaboration, and cultural sensitivity.
