Maria is registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. Maria holds a Master of Education and a Master of Counselling Psychology - but more importantly, she is here to support you in a kind, thoughtful, and non-judgmental way.
Maria is a trauma-informed therapist who works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in low moods, going through relationship/parenting challenges, coping with stress, grieving, or trying to heal from difficult past experiences. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you have done this before, Maria will meet you where you are at and go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Maria integrates various approaches to help individuals understand and shift unhelpful patterns, manage strong emotions, and reconnect with their bodies. She also offers walk-and-talk therapy for those who feel more grounded in movement and nature.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, Maria had spent over a decade working with refugees, women of colour, and people with disabilities — experiences that taught her the power of listening, cultural humility, and the ability to create a space where people feel seen and heard. Maria speaks English, Russian, and Spanish, and honours the many parts of your identity that shape who you are.
Maria is currently accepting new clients with no waitlist and invites you to connect for a free, 20-minute consultation to see if this feels like the right fit for you.
