How you’ll feel
empowered, supported, and equipped with the tools to navigate life's challenges with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose
Hi, I’m Maria!
A therapist, trauma specialist, and maternal mental health advocate. I work with women and families who are navigating the messy, beautiful, and often overwhelming seasons of life. Whether you're adjusting to life postpartum, healing from a loss, feeling the weight of anxiety, or just trying to hold it all together — you don’t have to go through it alone.
My approach is gentle, grounded, and collaborative. I’m trained in trauma recovery and perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International, and I bring both professional expertise and lived understanding into our work together. This isn’t a place for quick fixes or judgment. It’s a space to be heard, to feel safe, and to move at your own pace.
For those not quite ready for therapy, I also offer life coaching through State of Grace — a gentle starting point for exploring growth, clarity, and change. No matter the path you choose, my focus remains on creating a supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to move forward in your own time and way.
Therapy services are provided in affiliation with Pathways to Connection, LLC.
My Approach
I believe in meeting people where they are, with compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for their lived experience. My work is rooted in trauma-informed, client-centered care — blending evidence-based therapeutic approaches with personalized strategies to help you move toward healing, clarity, and growth.
In some cases, sessions may include elements of structured support that focus on goal setting and personal development. These tools are integrated thoughtfully to complement the therapeutic process, always centered on what feels most helpful to you in your current season of life.
Dream it
This work isn’t just about managing symptoms — it’s about helping you reconnect with yourself and imagine a life that feels more aligned, intentional, and fulfilling. Together, we’ll explore what truly matters to you and create space for your values, voice, and vision to guide the way forward.
Build it
This work is about more than just achieving goals — it’s about growing into the most grounded, resilient version of yourself. Together, we’ll build practical tools, explore new perspectives, and strengthen your ability to navigate life with clarity and confidence. Through reflection, mindfulness, and meaningful self-work, you’ll reconnect with your inner strength and capacity for change.
