Testimonials
"I recommend Maria highly. She helped me to make sense of what was happening with me and to find the path forward. She did that by listening very carefully and asking great questions, by explaining the theory of CFT (which I found really helpful) and by pointing me to specific resources for me to use between sessions. Thanks so much!"
