Approach

One of Maria’s core beliefs is that each of us has an innate potential to gain deeper self-understanding, heal wounds, connect to inner strengths, and transform our worlds. Though these capacities may be diminished in the face of challenge, she believes there is always hope for their re-emergence.

By building compassionate and affirming relationships with her clients, Maria creates a trusting environment for new pathways to unfold. The wisdom of her clients’ journeys has long been a source of her inspiration.
