It’s time to feel confident

You dream of a life where you are not overwhelmed with negative self-talk and low confidence. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that?

You’ve come to the right place.

I’m Maria and I help women just like you: ones that have it within them to feel confident and satisfied in life again but just need the support to get there.

I help my clients find clarity and joy by equipping them with the tools they need to improve their moods and find a more fulfilling life.

Many of today’s solutions for low self-esteem are cheerleader therapy sessions leading so many to feel somewhat better during session but not seeing improvements in life outside session and creates a sense of dependency on the therapist. I know that your circumstances are unique, so I provide individualized support while providing education and actionable ways to improve your self-esteem outside the therapy session. Everything we do is will an end goal in mind.

First, we figure out what is getting in the way and identify your specific troubles that are causing you to feel unfulfilled and unsatisfied with yourself. Then, we learn skills, provide education, and use therapeutic techniques that will be most effective for you. Through our work together, you’ll be equipped with the skills and confidence you need to thrive in your life.

I am dedicated to helping people get on a path towards a fulfilling life.

My training in Feminist therapy, Motivational interviewing, positive psychology means I have the expertise you need and deserve when improving your confidence. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a woman today struggling with self-esteem right?

I get it because I have lived it and because I have devoted my career to working with women experiencing it. I know that it feels hopeless at times, and you adopt the “I suck so why bother” mindset. So, when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through.
