I HELP QUEER AND RACIALIZED FOLKS LEVEL UP THEIR INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS.
Let’s get to know one another…
I’m Maria — your Relationship Growth Coach for Queer and POC Couples.
I didn’t go to “Relationship Coach” school. I went deeper.
I studied human behavior, the unconscious mind, and the power of language — because that’s where connection really begins. I also dove into the nervous system and trauma, because let’s be honest — most of us grew up feeling like we didn’t quite belong. That kind of disconnection shows up in love until we name it, feel it, and learn new ways to relate.
My approach is kind, and direct — a mix of gentle truth-telling and bold accountability. I’m here to help you break old patterns, unlearn the stuff that never served you, and build the kind of love that feels like freedom, not performance.
This work isn’t about fixing you — it’s about remembering who you are underneath the noise, and creating relationships that reflect that truth. Loving boldly. Loving authentically. Loving on your own terms.
THERAPIST vs COUNSELLOR vs COACH
A therapist (or psychotherapist) helps you work through what’s underneath.
A counsellor helps you navigate your present challenges.
A coach helps you go from awareness to action.
Where my work fits in...
My coaching blends relationship psychology, nervous system awareness, and trauma-informed tools — all wrapped in real talk, compassion and science-backed strategies.
I don’t do diagnosis or therapy. I don’t ‘fix’ you because you are not broken. I help you understand your patterns, communicate better, rebuild connection, and create a relationship that feels like partnership, not performance.
