SOMATIC & EMDR THERAPIST
Life is full of thresholds — leading us into the unknown and into the wilderness of the heart. With 15 years of holistic work, Maria specializes in helping individuals embrace the tender and messy parts of life, resource your inner capacity for external change, and embody a greater sense of freedom, satisfaction, and aliveness.

Drawing from her studies and personal experience, Maria inspires clients to navigate essential life transitions with courage, clarity, and confidence. Her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling combined with advanced training in Sri Vidya Tantra Yoga Meditation and Expressive Arts (drawing, painting, sculpture, poetry, dance, ritual) provide a grounding framework for healing and transformation. If you are ready to alchemize your suffering, Maria will be a trusted ally on your path.

Embracing Birth, Death and Becoming Yourself
Maria is reimagining mental health care as a sacred return to the mother within. In a culture that often pathologizes emotional complexity and disconnects us from our wisdom bodies, too many people suffer in silence or get stuck in patterns that drain your spirit.
Creativity, ritual, and connection to the natural world are fundamental elements of Maria’s therapeutic approach. The earth’s seasons and cycles help us to honor the body as nature, daily ritual as creative expression, and relationship as spiritual practice. Grounded in the belief that liberation from suffering is possible for all beings, Maria supports adults and couples who are seeking a life beyond anxiety, stress, and survival mode. Healing, growth, and transformation begins with embracing the wildness of who you are, restoring a sense of belonging in your life, and reconnecting to your spirit’s natural rhythms.
Together, we can meet the unknown with curiosity and grace. We can learn how to mother ourselves in the way that only we can know. Integrating aspects from yoga philosophy, sound therapy, psychedelic medicine, pregnancy and postpartum mental health, death doula and end-of-life counseling, and relational healing, Maria’s work is to support your journey of becoming more whole and at home within yourself.
