Maria is a compassionate and dedicated counsellor who earned her Master's degree from Yorkville University in 2024. As a member in good standing with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), she holds the Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) credentials. Maria specializes in working with adults seeking to gain deeper insights into themselves and heal from past experiences, empowering them to become the person they were meant to be.
As a parent herself, Maria understands the unique joys and challenges of raising children. Her strong background in education and child development allows her to provide valuable insights into the dynamics of family life. She is committed to supporting parents on their journey by equipping them with practical tools and strategies that foster understanding and connection within their families.
Born and raised in Germany, married to a Canadian, and lived and worked in Southern Africa for several years, Maria has always had a deep appreciation for diversity and cultural understanding. This has shaped her approach to therapy, allowing her to connect with clients from various backgrounds and provide a safe and inclusive space for their healing journey.
Outside of her counselling practice, she finds joy in exploring nature, spending time with friends, and dancing.
