Maria is a Registered Social Worker, and a Masters of Social Work graduate from Lakehead University. She has a special interest in working with couples who are struggling with major life changes, looking to enhance their communication and strengthen their relationship, or recovering from an affair and/or traumatic experience. Additionally, she enjoys working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns such as Post-Traumatic Stress, substance abuse, and low-self-esteem/self-confidence.

Maria draws from a few different therapeutic techniques in order to tailor her approach to her client’s unique needs. Her primary goal is to understand their specific experiences and challenges and make efforts to support them to see change both individually and relationally. As part of her private practice, she offers a safe and supportive space where her clients can speak fully and honestly. She values all her clients and celebrates everyone’s uniqueness.
