Maria works with most mental health and mood disorders with an emphasis on regulating the nervous system. Once the nervous system is in a more regulated state, the therapy can move into deeper realms of insight oriented therapy which allows clients to access a deeper understanding of themselves.
Maria is not currently accepting new clients. She highly recommends the other therapists on her team:
Kylie Goss-Dedrickson, Allie Corcoran, Elaine Cohn, and Erin Carkner.
