I have undergone various therapeutic approaches, including group therapy, outpatient psychotherapy, and hypnosis therapy, with limited success. My husband, in his dedication to supporting my well-being, found Maria, and I am grateful for that. Since beginning sessions with Maria, both my husband and I have observed significant improvements in my personal development and my approach to challenges. Maria's kindness, patience, and comprehensive toolkit have been instrumental in helping me overcome negativity and lead a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Starting therapy with Maria has made a big impact for my husband and I. Our fertility journey has been a tough one to navigate and her warm, open and down to earth approach has made it easier for us. Her knowledge and practice of CBT skills have provided invaluable guidance. We highly recommend her.

Maria and I have been working together for the past year since my father passed away. She helped me a lot through that transition and the overwhelming feelings that come with the loss of a parent. We also connected over the fact that we were both new moms. Maria takes a lot of interest in your life and what you’re going through at the time and adapts her style to meet you exactly where you are that month, week, day. I really appreciate how she follows up on ongoing issues and the support she provides on particular topics that require an in-depth understanding of your personal situation. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone who wants a caring, knowledgeable and reliable therapist who will take the time to really get to know you.

Maria is a mindful listener, knowledgeable, and a supportive therapist. She practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and provides concrete strategies, which have been invaluable tools for me. Maria is also a perinatal mental health clinician, and fertility counselor, and her knowledge and skills have guided me through various transitions in my life. Maria is a mom herself, which makes it easy to connect. She provides relief, support, and parent coaching. As a hardworking, career-driven mother of two, I rely on Maria to guide me through these pivotal moments in life, relationships, work, and motherhood.

I like to think of Maria as part of my postpartum team. I needed someone to help me work through my mental health issues as I entered Motherhood. It took me a while to find a match but when I met Maria, I knew she was the therapist for me. She's great at listening and helping me work through my issues and concerns. Week after week, she's given me tools to help maintain my sanity. We also worked through self esteem/confidence issues together. The best part about working with her is that she understands my challenges and roadblock because she is a mom herself. I don't feel like I need to explain all the intricacies of my situation but at the surface level she knows how tough motherhood is. I highly recommend her!
