Hi Firey One! I am Maria. Master of Social Work. Student of Life.
I write to you at 7:30am, on my couch. My husband just crawled out of our bedroom begging me to return to our bed. After smooching me gloriously with sleep (very hard denying him right now). My pup sleeping on her bed on the floor just sighed and stretched. I get to have every piece.
I am not your typical coach. I am a trained psychotherapist in trauma and relationships. I do not work inside my license, but dance outside of those lines, so I can work with people all over the world (psychotherapy is technically only possible to do with people in your own state.) Most of my clients are all over the United States and many abroad.
I spent the last 20 years of my life thigh high in healing. Name it, I have done it.
I have searched for meaning by going from religion to religion, seeing what sticks. Seeing who knows their shit.
I have searched for awakening with hundreds of therapists, programs, unyielding prying at the vault that is my mind, so I can master my reactions to life.
I have gone woo and have gone traditional. I like them both.
My deepest shame is one of the best things I bring to the table: I am a recovering addict. Was born an addict, will die an addict, and wouldn’t have it any other way. The ones that shake this earth and leave a lasting imprint, are the addicts. They are are our creatives, our healers, our inventors.
Everyone has the propensity for sheer beauty and absolute hell. Everyone is an artist. Most are addicts.
My addiction to people almost killed me a few times. Yet I am still here. To get to enjoy life and to pass on what I learn.
With every high and low, it’s bringing me closer to just being able to enjoy most moments of my life, instead of waiting until all my ducks get in a row. Because they won’t be. They are drunk and they like to woddle all over the place.
To work with me, you walk away with more of youreslf. Not Maria’s masterful 10 step method to life but Your BluePrint To Your Humanity. What do you hunger for? What keeps you awake? What will you give anything for? What does your body crave, right now? How can you last standing in the fire that is you, without shrinking away? What might be on the other side of the thing you are facing right now? What if it’s all for you, nothing ever against you again? I’d love to help you discover these answers! Right now offering single sessions (which I haven’t done IN YEARS outside of a longer container).
