ABOUT MARIA

For as long as I can remember, I’ve searched for something deeper—truth, connection, healing. Even as a child, I sensed the unspoken pain of others, their longing for acceptance and belonging. I recognized it because I felt it too.

Life has a way of shaking us awake. For me, it first started in childhood, leading into my teens and early adulthood—heartbreak, loss, betrayal, and questioning my very existence. I felt lost, unsure of my place in the world. Then, I found counseling as a lifeline. Being truly seen and heard changed everything. I realized healing isn’t about fixing what’s “broken” but about rediscovering who we’ve always been beneath the layers of fear, doubt, and pain. It’s about dismantling the self-limiting beliefs we’ve been fed and embracing our truth—our strength, our gifts.

The battles I fought within and the awakenings that followed were pivotal in my healing journey—one that ultimately led me to help others on theirs. My career evolved through substance abuse and crisis counseling, earning a Master’s degree, becoming a Holistic Health Practitioner, and gaining diverse experience across various settings. My passion for working one-on-one with clients expanded to include group work and retreats, where shared experiences, collective energy, and deep connection accelerate healing—allowing breakthroughs to happen more quickly and profoundly.

For 30 years, I’ve walked alongside people in their darkest moments, witnessing their struggles, resilience, and transformation. I’ve seen what happens when we finally choose ourselves after years of self-abandonment—the freedom, the relief, the lightness of stepping into who we truly are.

This work isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. Every person I meet is a reflection of my own journey, a reminder that no matter how lost we feel, healing is always possible. If you’re here, reading this, know this: You are not alone. Your pain does not define you. And no matter how impossible it may seem right now, there is a way forward.

When you're ready, I will walk with you.
