"Maria has a way of listening carefully and getting to the heart of the matter with people she works with. She creates an environment of safety in which it is possible to talk about things that really matter and to make changes that really help. She does so in a loving and respectful manner."

You can do all of these things with "self-relations" – an empowering new kind of counseling that puts you in control over your own life. You learn to love yourself and then you’re in a position to love your friends and family more fully and allow their love to restore and enrich you.
Struggles and conflicts, both internal and external, are part of life. Instead of fearing them, I encourage you to use them as an opportunity for personal growth and much needed transition.
Counseling is the therapeutic process of identifying patterns that cause you the most pain and difficulty in your life and discovering where they come from. Then we go on to set new patterns that will ultimately serve you better.
I work hard to create a safe space where we focus on strengthening your self-concept, sharpening your decision-making skills and heightening your awareness of social factors in your choices. My approach is very holistic as we look for balance and harmony in a physical, spiritual, personal and cultural context.
