I went to several therapists and finally found my home with Maria. I feel like she really understands me.

Maria has helped me immensely on my journey to self awareness. When I first met her I had severe anxiety, low confidence, and lacked assertiveness but with every session I felt as if I was able to finally take a deep breathe of fresh air. My mind began to clear and I gained a profound understanding of myself. I’m truly grateful to have been matched with Maria.

Maria has helped me immensely already. She is very patient, caring and understanding. She has helped me reflect on my past trauma in a way that helps me accept and move past it. I am beginning to regain a sense of control in my life thanks to her guidance. I still have a long journey ahead of me, but I now believe that the challenges ahead are surmountable.

Maria is a great therapist! From my first session, I was able to connect with her and open up about the experiences that were challenging my mental health. This feeling of ease helped me to understand the tools I needed to feel comfortable in my self and achieve my goals. I would recommend Maria to anyone who suffers from low moods, stress and anxiety.
