Grief touches us in many forms—through the death of a loved one, the loss of a cherished pet, changes in health, career, or identity. Maria specializes in supporting people through these moments of loss, with particular experience in grief, psychosocial oncology, and coping with chronic or terminal illness. She know how overwhelming these experiences can feel and, as a clinician, Maria strives to offer a space where they can be met with compassion and understanding.
Maria utilizes an integrative approach blending psychodynamic exploration, client-centered presence, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to meet each person where they are. They will help you peeling back the layers of pain and self-protection, uncovering new perspectives and fostering inner resilience. Maria believes in the healing power of deep listening, authentic connection, and the courage it takes to face what feels unbearable.
Before becoming a therapist, Maria worked as a journalist, an experience that gave her an intimate understanding of vicarious trauma and the pressures of high-demand careers. This background informs their sensitivity to the diverse ways people carry stress, responsibility, and invisible burdens.
