Maria is very empathic and quickly gathers relevant history. She is good at explaining to you how you have ended up repeating earlier life patterns to assist with making changes in the present. Compassionate and reflective. Highly recommend.

Maria, has been everything I would hope a therapist represents. She is thoughtful, kind and in tune when we meet. She is understanding that speaking about certain things can be difficult and she applauds honesty. Having not been to therapy before, I hope that anyone seeking to improve themself, can find a kind soul like Maria.

Maria has been so helpful this last year. I've come a long way from the person I was a year ago thanks to her. I'm in a much better place, very happy and in a much healthier relationship. She has been instrumental in getting me to that place.
