Maria puts a new spin on therapeutic services; integrating holistic, spiritual and individualized approach to treatment. Maria is passionate about helping her client's access and strengthen their intuition, limit anxiety, depression and stress, hone into their internal intelligence and use more of their potential to overcome challenges related to addiction, trauma, eating disorders, depression and relational challenges. Through brain-resetting (changing the beliefs that inhibit the desired outcome), Maria can assist her clients in changing the reactionary patterns which influence the way one experiences reality-changing limiting patterns into empowering patterns.

Maria is focused on helping individuals and couples overcome past hurts, restore confidence and create life purpose by employing empirically proven, holistic and integrative, transcendental techniques. Maria specializes in working with adolescents (14-18), adults (18-60) and couples. Maria specialize in assisting her clients to work through relationship challenges (infidelity, anger, communication, sex/intimacy), addiction, eating disorders, trauma and depression.
