About
Hi, I'm Maria, and I know firsthand that life doesn't always go the way we planned. Sometimes you get news that changes everything - a diagnosis, a loss, a moment that splits your life into before and after. I work with people in those spaces. Women facing prenatal diagnoses they never anticipated. Families navigating medical journeys that feel impossible. Anyone walking through grief and trying to find meaning on the other side. I don't have all the answers, but I know how to sit with you in the hard stuff without rushing you through it. And I believe deeply in your ability to find joy and strength, even when it feels out of reach. I've spent 20 years in Broward County Public Schools as an educator, coach, counselor, mentor and suicide prevention specialist. But what truly shapes my work is my daughter who was born with Trisomy 18 and lived 4 beautiful years. She changed everything I thought I knew about strength, grief and love and how I show up for families facing the unexpected.
