Maria is a Registered Psychotherapist with a Master of Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, and she is registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. She is also a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and in good standing with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).

Before becoming a psychotherapist, Maria worked as a nurse in various healthcare settings, where she developed a deep understanding of individuals’ unique needs and refined her ability to build empathetic, meaningful relationships.

Through her nursing experience, Maria discovered her passion for helping others extended beyond physical care. She sought a more holistic approach, addressing emotional and cognitive needs, which led her to pursue psychotherapy.

Maria is trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Gottman Relationship Therapy, and integrates various therapeutic techniques to create personalized treatment plans. She believes each individual’s journey is unique, so she works collaboratively with clients to empower them to take charge of their emotional healing.

Her goal is to help clients achieve lasting positive change, gain insight into their challenges, and rebuild emotional well-being. By developing a customized plan, Maria supports clients in moving forward with greater clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.
